Kargil, Jun 13: The Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT), Srinagar Bench, concluded its third three-day Circuit Sitting at the Tourist Facilitation Centre (TFC) in Kargil on Wednesday, continuing its outreach to ensure justice delivery for government employees in remote regions.
The Circuit Sitting, held from June 10 to June 12, was conducted by a Division Bench consisting of Hon’ble M.S. Latif (Judicial Member) and Hon’ble Prasant Kumar (Administrative Member). Proceedings were carried out in hybrid mode, enabling both physical and virtual appearances.
Over the course of the three days, 63 cases were listed before the Bench. Fourteen of these were resolved during the sitting. Additionally, seven new cases were registered on-site and received swift orders from the Bench.
Sudhir Kumar Jha, Head of Office, CAT Srinagar, described the response from Kargil’s government employees as highly encouraging. “Aggrieved employees were highly appreciative of this justice at doorstep initiative,” he said, emphasizing the Tribunal’s ongoing efforts to bring judicial services closer to public servants in distant areas.
In line with these efforts, Jha announced that Circuit Sittings in Kargil will now be organized every alternate month from April to October, encouraging more employees to use the facility for redressing service-related issues.
Jha also conveyed deep appreciation on behalf of CAT to the District Administration Kargil and various officials, including the Chairman/CEC LAHDC Kargil and others, for their support in successfully conducting the sitting. Their cooperation, he said, was key to ensuring a smooth and impactful proceeding.
