ORDER
04.07.2026
01. Impugned in this petition filed by the petitioner under Article
226 of the Constitution of India is an interlocutory order dated
11.11.2025, passed by the Central Administrative Tribunal,
Srinagar (“the Tribunal”) in OA No. 1308/2025, titled “Tawseef
Ahmad Bhat vs. Union Territory of J & K and Ors.“, whereby
the Tribunal has declined to pass an interim order of stay of the
impugned order of discharge.
02. The objections to the petition have been filed by the
respondents.
03. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the
material on record, we are of the considered opinion that this
writ petition against the impugned interim order is not
maintainable. This is so because the matter on merits is yet to
be considered by the Tribunal.
04. Since the impugned order was passed on the very first date of
hearing, when the Tribunal did not have the benefit of the
stand of the respondents. The respondents have filed their
objections in this petition and the same can be considered by
the tribunal for taking a view with regard to the grant of the
interim relief.
05. Let the copy of the objections filed before this Court be
submitted before the Tribunal within a period of two weeks
from today. The Tribunal may either consider the main petition
for final consideration or take up the application for interim
relief for consideration. The interim application disposed of in
terms of impugned order is restored for the aforesaid purpose.
06. This petition is accordingly, disposed of.
07. Keeping in view the fact that the petitioner suffers from a
disability, as such, we would expect that the tribunal would
accord priority to his case and consider the same at the earliest.
It would be appreciated if OA filed by the petitioner, or at
least, his reconsideration of interim stay is considered and
disposed of within a period of three months.
