CAT has its benches at 17 different places in the country.
“It is imperative that CAT delivers justice speedily. The government is considering examining double shift for CATs to further expedite disposal of cases,” Minister of State for Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions V Naryanasamy said at a conference of the administrative tribunals here.

Referring to a large number of vacant posts in CATs, he said the government has reviewed the system to check delay in filling up the vacancies.

The government is committed to providing all support to the Tribunal and the issues related to it are being put on fast-track for resolution, he added.

Inaugurating the conference, Justice Dalveer Bhandari of Supreme Court said CATs have functioned as a “viable substitute to the High Courts.”
