Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court directed the remittance of the case to the Uttar Pradesh Public Services Tribunal for disposal, emphasizing that the Tribunal lacks the power to issue interim orders, which justifies the High Court's jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution. The Court highlighted the need for the Uttar Pradesh State to consider establishing a Tribunal under the Central Administrative Tribunals Act of 1985 to ensure uniformity in adjudication of service disputes and alleviate the burden on the High Court. The judgment reinforces the principle that service disputes should ideally be resolved by specialized tribunals rather than general courts.
