Bimal Bandyopadhyay vs Md. Halim Sk

The Supreme Court held that the Central Administrative Tribunal exceeded its jurisdiction by directing the reconsideration of the respondent's case in contempt proceedings, as the proper recourse would have been to challenge the original order dated 1.3.2002 separately. The Court found that the Tribunal's order and the subsequent High Court ruling were unsustainable, leading to the appeal being allowed and both lower orders being set aside. The respondent retains the liberty to challenge the original order in accordance with law.
