Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined whether writ petitions filed by employees of Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan regarding service conditions should be transferred to the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT). The core legal issue concerns the jurisdiction of the High Court under Article 226 versus the exclusive jurisdiction of the CAT under the Administrative Tribunals Act, 1985. The court addressed the maintainability of writ petitions when a statutory forum is provided for service disputes.
