Orissa high court
CUTTACK: The Orissa high court has pulled up the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) on Monday for not considering the background of litigation while declining to grant interim relief to a casual employee of Prasar Bharati whose 27 years of service was terminated on the basis of instructions over telephone.
While not granting interim stay on the order terminating the service of Smita Jena, CAT makes no reference to the long history of litigation concerning her services where she has been knocking at the doors of concerned authorities for regularization of her services in terms of the scheme floated for that purpose by Prasar Bharati, the HC observed.
