CAT Jammu Bench’s Disposal of Service Cases Among the Highest in the Country:

The Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) Jammu Bench’s disposal of service cases has gone beyond expectations and is among the highest in the country, Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Science & Technology, Earth Sciences, and MoS PMO, Personnel, Public Grievances, Pensions, Atomic Energy and Space, Dr. Jitendra Singh said today.

The Minister was speaking after inaugurating the new Office-cum-Court Complex of the Central Administrative Tribunal, Jammu Bench, at Bahu Plaza, Jammu. He said the high disposal of cases by the CAT Benches in Jammu and Srinagar demonstrates the capacity built by the Tribunal to provide speedy and accessible justice in service matters.
