CAT Jammu Bench’s Disposal of Service Cases Among the Highest in the Country: Dr. Jitendra Singh

Union Minister Dr. Jitendra Singh inaugurated the new Office-cum-Court Complex of the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) Jammu Bench at Bahu Plaza. Highlighting the performance of the Jammu and Srinagar Benches, it was noted that they handled a combined total of 41,389 cases comprising transferred and freshly instituted matters up to June 30, 2026, maintaining low pendency and an appeal rate of only 8% to the High Court of Jammu & Kashmir. Established under the Administrative Tribunals Act, 1985, CAT aims to provide speedy and affordable justice in service matters for government employees while reducing the burden on constitutional courts. The event also underscored broader administrative updates, including infrastructure developments across various CAT benches and the adoption of digital technologies like e-filing, the Advance Case Information System, and capacity building via Mission Karmayogi.
