The Delhi High Court has held that the chairperson of the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) can transfer a case from one bench to another without giving the parties a chance to file a formal written reply.
After West Bengal CM Banerjee appealed to the Centre to withdraw its order recalling her state’s chief secretary, leader of opposition Suvendu Adhikari on Saturday said the IAS officer’s transfer was fair because he had broken protocol.
Trinamul on Saturday alleged that the Centre was “terrorising” IAS and IPS officers in Bengal in response to the Union home ministry’s central deputation call for three IPS officers who were tasked with BJP president J.P. Nadda’s security for the Diamond Harbour event on Thursday.
The BJP has been blaming Trinamul for the convoy attack en route to Diamond Harbour, the constituency of Trinamul heir-apparent Abhishek Banerjee.
Trinamul veteran Kalyan Banerjee on behalf of the party shot a missive to Union home secretary Ajay Bhalla, urging him not to “behave like a servant of Amit Shah (union home minister)”.
