The Union of India & Ors.

Ms. Sutapa Sanyal Mr. Amit Chowdhury ..For the Petitioner Mr. Sukanta Ghosh ...For the Respondents A challenge has been shown to the maintainability of the writ petition before this Court. Admittedly, the petitioner is a retired employee of Eastern Railways. This Court is of the view that the appropriate Tribunal is the Court at first instance relying on the Apex Court's judgment in L. Chandra Kumar vs. Union of India & Ors. reported in (1997) 3 SCC 361.

This Court has no jurisdiction to receive, try and entertain the present writ petition.

Accordingly, W.P.A. 22445 of 2023 is dismissed. The petitioner will be at liberty to approach the appropriate forum, if so advised.

It is made clear that this Court has not gone into the merits of the writ petition.

All parties shall act on the server copy of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this Court. (Lapita Banerji, J.)
