Hon'ble Shri Ajay Kumar Tripathi, Chief Justice Hon'ble Shri Justice Parth Prateem Sahu Order on Board Per Ajay Kumar Tripathi, Chief Justice 23.10.2018
1. Heard the parties.
2. Keeping in mind the Constitution Bench decision which has been rendered in SLP (C) No.30621 of 2011 i.e. Jarnail Singh & Others Vs. Lachhmi Narain Gupta & Others and analogous cases decided on 26.09.2018, the law laid down by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in M. Nagraj Vs. Union of India reported in (2006) 8 SCC 212 still holds the field.
3. If this be so, the writ application is dismissed. No interference is warranted with the impugned order dated 05.04.2018 passed by Central Administrative Tribunal, Jabalpur Bench, Jabalpur in O.A. No.203/848/2016 since the order/orders granting promotion in breach of the ratio of the M. Nagraj case by the Railways cannot be sustained.
