2.From the reliefs sought, there is no doubt that the nature of reliefs sought is in the realm of service matter disputes and is against the Ministry of Railways and the Railway Board and therefore, the remedy of the Petitioners’ lies before the Central Administrative Tribunal (Tribunal) as the Court of first instance in view of Section 14 of the Administrative Tribunals Act, 1985 and in view of the judgment of the Constitution Bench of the Supreme Court in L. Chandra Kumar v. Union of India and Others, (1997) 3 SCC 261.

3.Ordinarily this Court would have directed the Petitioners to withdraw the petition and approach the Tribunal afresh. However, considering that the writ petition was filed in 2022 and seeks urgent reliefs and is on behalf of the persons suffering from disabilities, the writ petition is transferred to the Tribunal, where it shall be listed before the learned Chairman, Central Administrative Tribunal on 30.09.2024. The Registry shall transmit the entire record of the present case to the Tribunal before the next date of hearing.

4.The Court expresses its gratitude to Mr. Vivek Kumar Tandon, Advocate, who has assisted the Court as Amicus Curiae in the matter.
