3.

The order dated 10.08.2020 passed by the Central Administrative Tribunal, Jaipur (for short, ‘CAT’) has been quoted by the petitioner held as under: “......(3) That, it would be pertinent to mention here that the Ld. Central Administrative Tribunal, Jaipur Bench, Jaipur vide its order dated 10.08.2020 (Which was reserved on 27.02.2020) allowed the OA. The Operative portion is reproduced as here under:-

The order dated 03.07.2007 (Annexure-A/2) granting promotion to Respondent No.4 on the post of UDC w.e.f. 01.06.2004 & the consequent seniority assigned to him vide seniority list circulated through letter dated 25.06.2009 (Annexure-A/1) are hereby quashed and set aside.

Before Central Administrative Tribunal Jaipur respondent no.4 was my client Asim Kumar Chatterjee. Who is directly affected by the order of CAT Jaipur as such, DBCWP filed by my client. (4.) That, it is also an admitted position that since the appointment of my client, the promotion were given by your department to my client time to time.”

4.

From the perusal of the said order passed by CAT dated

10.08.2020 and the interim order passed by this Court. It is apparent that the seniority has been restored, therefore, seniority list circular vide order dated 25.06.2009 stands restored. Nothing further is required to be done at the end of the respondents. Hence, this contempt petition is found to be misconceived and dismissed accordingly.
