Patna High Court CWJC No.19811 of 2019 dt.24-09-2019 2/3 ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE And HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ASHUTOSH KUMAR ORAL JUDGMENT (Per: HONOURABLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE) Date : 24-09-2019 Having heard Shri M.P. Dixit, learned counsel for the petitioner and Shri Harendra Prasad Singh, learned counsel for the respondent-Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited, this petition deserves to be allowed on the short ground that the Central Administrative Tribunal, Patna Bench, Patna (hereinafter referred to as the Tribunal) has neither discussed the facts nor accorded reasons nor has arrived at any conclusion on the basis of any material on record that can be deciphered from the perusal of the order.
3. The order unfortunately is cryptic and short enough to be set-aside with a request to the Tribunal to deliver an order, keeping in view the principles laid down in Order-XX of the Civil Procedure Code.
4. The petition is therefore, accordingly, allowed.
5. The impugned order dated 15th April, 2019 is set-aside. The matter shall be re-heard and decided by the
Patna High Court CWJC No.19811 of 2019 dt.24-09-2019 3/3 Tribunal by a reasoned and speaking order, preferably within a period of three months.
