1 - 3 of 3 (0.25 seconds)K.I. Shephard & Ors. Etc. Etc vs Union Of India & Ors on 18 September, 1987
5. We have seen the reply filed by the respondents and heard Shri V.S.R. Krishna, learned counsel. A preliminary objection had been taken by the respondents that the Principal Bench has no jurisdiction to entertain these applications in the present form as the applicants are working in different cities in the country. This plea is, however, rejected having regard to the Hon'ble Chairman's order dated 3.12.1999 allowing the transfer petitions. Another preliminary objection was that the application is belated and hit by limitation under Section 21 of the Administrative Tribunals Act, 1985. Mrs. Shyamla Pappu, Learned Sr. Counsel, has, on the other hand, submitted that the question of limitation does not arise as what the applicants claim in these cases is the extension of benefit of the orders of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in similar cases. She has relied on Amrit Lal v. Collector, CEC (Revenue), AIR 1975 SC 538 and K.I Shephard v. Union of India, AIR 1988 SC 688= 1988( 1) SLJ 105 (SC). Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case and noting that the representations made by the applicants in 1998 for extending the benefits of the aforesaid judgments of the Hon'ble Supreme Court to the applicants have been rejected on various dates in that year only we are of the view that the plea of limitation has to be rejected, subject to what is stated below.
M.R. Gupta vs Union Of India & Ors on 21 August, 1995
In the particular facts and circumstances of the cases, having regard also to the judgment of the Supreme Court in M.R. Gupta v. Union of India, 1995(5) Scale 29, in such matters and the provisions of
Section 21 of the Administrative Tribunals Act, 1985, we consider it appropriate in the interest of justice, that the monetary benefits flowing from the fixation of the applicants in the higher pay scales should be granted to them only from the date each of the eight Original Applications has been filed before the Tribunal with notional fixation of pay w.e.f. 1.1.1986 or from the date of their promotion, whichever is later, with consequential benefits accordingly.
