The development comes as a major respite for former West Bengal Chief Secretary
The Calcutta High Court on Friday set aside the Central Administrative Tribunal’s Principal Bench order to transfer a petition by former West Bengal Chief Secretary Alapan Bandyopadhyay to New Delhi.
“Promptness is appreciated, but over-zealousness to cater to the fiat of the Government, be it Central or State, is not, by courts of law as a tradition,” said an order by a Division Bench of Justices Sabyasachi Bhattacharyya and Justice Rabindranath Samanta of the Calcutta High Court.
Mr. Bandyopadhyay had moved the High Court challenging the October 22 order of the CAT’s Principal Bench allowing the Centre’s transfer petition in the case filed by him before the Kolkata Bench of the CAT.
