Administrative Tribunals & Government Service

Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT)

We handle complex service disputes for Central Government employees, All India Service Officers (IAS, IPS, IFS), and personnel from notified autonomous bodies and central undertakings. Our tribunal practice actively challenges:

• Departmental Inquiries: Defending personnel during the inquiry stage and challenging arbitrary findings, major penalties (dismissal/removal), or disproportionate punishments.

• Promotions & Benefits: Rectifying denied promotions, wrongful supersession, seniority disputes, and withheld financial upgrades under the Modified Assured Career Progression (MACP) scheme.

• Administrative Actions: Contesting arbitrary and vindictive transfers, prolonged suspension orders, or malicious actions invoking compulsory retirement under Fundamental Rule 56(j).

Uttarakhand Public Services Tribunal (UPST)

For state government employees, members of the Uttarakhand Police force, and personnel of state-owned corporations, the UPST in Dehradun is the primary battlefield for justice. We bridge the gap between regional administrative grievances and appellate relief, specializing in:

• Claim Petitions: Filing robust petitions against illegal termination, summary dismissal, or vindictive disciplinary actions after exhausting departmental appeals.

• Pensionary & Retiral Benefits: Securing delayed, denied, or arbitrarily withheld pensionary benefits, gratuity, and leave encashment for retiring officials.

• ACRs & Career Progression: Challenging adverse, uncommunicated entries in Annual Confidential Reports (ACRs) that unjustly halt an employee’s career progression.

Armed Forces Tribunal (AFT) & Paramilitary Matters

Complementing our core government service practice, we also represent active and retired military and paramilitary personnel. Operating near the military hubs of Uttarakhand, we litigate complex matters involving disability pensions, wrongful discharge, and promotional disputes before designated benches.

High Court Writ Jurisdiction (Article 226)

Administrative tribunals are statutory creations, and their decisions are subject to judicial review. When a tribunal errs on facts or law, or when a client faces immediate structural jeopardy—such as imminent dismissal from service due to an underlying criminal conviction—we act swiftly. We file high-impact Writ Petitions (Service Single or Service Bench) under Article 226 of the Constitution of India before the High Court of Uttarakhand to stay adverse orders, challenge unconstitutional service rules, and restore our clients’ lawful rights.
