COURT MADE THE FOLLOWING:
ORDER
None appears for the petitioner. The Petitioner in this writ petition has sought for writ of certiorari quashing the letter dated 03.12.2004 produced at Annexure-R, issued by respondent No.2. Annexure-R reads as follows:
"With reference to the above letter, it is hereby stated that Sri.S.Lakshminarayan, Assistant Finance Officer, ex-LDC, CLRI, was absorbed in Aeronautical Development Agency in the post of Office Assistant in the pay scale of Rs.1400-2600 (later revised to 3 W.P.No.29893/2009 1640-2900) w.e.f 12.12.1986 (twelfth day of December 1986)."
3. Annexure-R is not an order passed against the interest of the petitioner. It is only informing the petitioner about his absorption in the Aeronautical Development Agency in the post of Office Assistant. Annexures- X and W are passed by respondent Nos.1 and 3. The relief claimed against respondents 1 and 3 is amenable to the Jurisdiction of the Central Administrative Tribunal under Section 14 of the Administrative Tribunals Act, 1985. As such, the writ petition is not maintainable, accordingly, same is dismissed with liberty to the petitioner to pursue his remedy before the Central Administrative Tribunal.
