11. In Maharaja Agrasen College & Anr. v. Narendra Kumar & Ors., in W.P.(C) 521/2018, decided on 26.03.2019, this Court has held as follows:
"7. The controversy involved in the case is, ex facie, a service matter. It is now a settled position that the NCSC does not have the jurisdiction to adjudicate service matters. The Supreme Court in All India Indian Overseas Bank SC & ST Employees Welfare Association and Ors. v. Union of India &Ors.: 1996 Supp(8) SCR 295 had examined the powers of the NCSC and had held that although the NCSC has certain powers of a Court, it was not a Court and thus would not adjudicate disputes. The said view was also followed by the Coordinate Benches of this Court in Union of India v. National Commission for Scheduled Castes and Ann: W.P.(C) 2390/2012 decided on 28.05.2014 and Delhi Transport Corporation v. Manohar Lal and Anr: W.P.(C) 1613/2013 decided on 16.02.2016. This court had also considered the powers of the National Commission for Scheduled Tribes under Article 338A of the Constitution of India, which is similarly worded as Article 338 of the Constitution of India.
