JUSTICE OM PRAKASH SHUKLA JUDGMENT (ORAL) % 19.05.2026 C. HARI SHANKAR, J. 1. This writ petition arises out of order dated 16 October 2025 passed by the Central Administrative Tribunal1 in OA 3859/2015, preferred by the petitioner, which has been dismissed on the ground that OA was barred by res judicata and limitation, without going into merits. 2. The petitioner had earlier approached the Tribunal by way of OA 671/2003 seeking appointment as OT Technician in Lal Bahadur Shashtri Hospital. That OA was disposed of in the following terms: 1 “the Tribunal” hereinafter W.P.(C) 1993/2016 Signature Not Verified Page 1 of 5 Digitally Signed By:AJIT KUMAR Signing Date:21.05.2026 14:47:57 “12. The cumulative results of these discussions compel us to hold that the applicant has been given a raw deal and his grievances are required to be redressed. We direct that since the applicant has come successful in the written test, without any further formalities, he should be conferred with appointment, as the Medical Officers were clamouring that existing posts required to be filled up expeditiously. The concerned respondent should ensure that appointment order should be issued to the applicant as OT Technician, within three weeks from today. However, it may not be possible for us to take note of his claim that he has a right to get appointment retrospectively, in these proceedings; he may represent in the matter. 13
