Forest service official Sanjeev Chaturvedi gets CAT relief

The Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) has rendered 'infructuos' an order of Appointments Committee of Cabinet (ACC), headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, for returning the proposal of changing cadre  of Chaturvedi, who was also removed as the Chief Vigilance Officer of AIIMS.

In  a recent order, a bench headed by CAT Chairman Syed Rafat Alam said that the instances mentioned by the IFS officer prima facie  bear out 'extreme hardship' at the hands of authorities of Haryana government which had also been substantiated by the report of the two-member committee appointed by Ministry of Environment and Forest (MoEF).

"We are of the opinion that the impugned order dated January 28, 2015 (of ACC) is rendered infructuous ipso facto as the matter is to be reconsidered by respondents as submitted by counsel for the respondents (Union of India, MoEF and Department of Personnel & Training). Hence, we only direct at this juncture that the case of the applicant (Chaturvedi) may be considered expeditiously, preferably within a period of two months from the date of production of certified copy of this order," the tribunal stated.
