HON'BLE DR. K.B. SURESH, MEMBER(J)

1. Heard. The matter seems to be covered by our earlier order in OA.No.181/2019 dated 29.8.2019 which we quote:-

"O R D E R (ORAL) (HON'BLE DR. K.B. SURESH, MEMBER (J) The matter seems to be covered by our order in OA No. 263/2019 dated 26.07.2019 which we quote:

"Heard. We had earlier handled this matter in OA.No.1002/2016, which was disposed of vide order dated 28.07.2017, which we quote:

"HON'BLE DR K.B. SURESH, MEMBER(J) Heard. The matter seems to be covered by the decision of the Hon'ble Apex Court in Union of India vs. Zorawar Singh and Jagadish Prasad reported in (1982) 1 SCC 421, that the effect of the decision is, once a person is promoted regularly, later on found that promotion cannot lie for any reason, notice have to be issued to him and he must be given a chance of being heard before a decision is taken.

2. Shri M.V. Rao, learned counsel for the respondents admits that no notice had been issued to the applicants before they were reverted.

3. Therefore, the reversion is hereby quashed. But then, we will grant liberty to the respondents to issue notice to the applicants and pass appropriate orders 3 OA.NO.170/01862/2018 CAT,Bangalore as the case may be in accordance with law.

4. OA is disposed of. No order as to costs."

2. Thereafter, once again the issue arose in OA.No.388-396/2018 and on 25.04.2018 we had passed an interim order, which we quote:

"Heard the learned counsel for the applicant. Apparently, this is a 3 rd round of litigation. In the earlier orders we had quashed reversion order. Thereafter, the respondents themselves had canceled that order before the matter coming for a final hearing. Now, apparently, the same order seems to be reagitated once again.

Issue notice to the respondents by Dasti. The applicant shall take out notice and have it served on the respondents within 7 days next and produce evidence for having done so.

The respondents to file a short reply on the question of interim relief within next 2 weeks.

The respondents can also file a detailed reply within 4 weeks. In that case, the applicant can file rejoinder within 2 weeks thereafter.

In the meanwhile, reversion order Annexure A-11 is stayed until further orders. Post the matter on 6.3.2019."

3. Thereafter, the respondents submitted that they cancelled the order and thereupon we had passed an order in OA.No.388-396/2018 on 16.05.2018, which we quote:

"O R D E R(ORAL) Learned counsel for the applicants is present. Lt. Commander AvinashSabard appears on behalf of the respondents and submits an order dated 10.4.2018 by which the reversion order in respect of the applicants stands cancelled.

2. The learned counsel for the applicants submits that in view of the said order, the OA has become infructuous.

3. In view of the above, the OA stands dismissed as having become infructuous. No order as to costs."

4. Thereafter, again the applicants were reverted, which we quote:

Headquarters Karnataka Naval Area Naval Base Karwar-581 308 CS/4200/FOK/RESTRUCTURING 29 Jan 19 NOTICE FOR RESTRUCTURING

1. Refer to HQWNC letter CS(II)/2577/ Restructuring/Karwar dated 18 Aug 16 and NSRY(Kar)letter HRC/6900 dated 13 Dec 18 (copy enclosed).

3. Therefore in view of above individuals mentioned in Para 2 of NSRY 4 OA.NO.170/01862/2018 CAT,Bangalore (Kar) letter mention ibid be reverted back to SK at the earliest citing the reason at above mentioned paragraph.
