Balakrishnan Nair, J.\n<\/p>\n
       The applicant in O.A.No.218\/2001 is the writ petitioner.<\/p>\n
The respondents in that O.A. are the respondents herein.<\/p>\n
Challenging Exhibit P14 order of the Central Administrative<\/p>\n
Tribunal, Ernakulam Bench dismissing the said O.A., this writ<\/p>\n
petition is filed.\n<\/p>\n
      2.    The brief facts of the case are the following:<\/p>\n
The petitioner joined the erstwhile Telecom Department as<\/p>\n
Technician in 1988.        As part of the restructuring of the<\/p>\n
Department, the Technicians after giving training for them in the<\/p>\n
latest technologies were being appointed as T.T.As.(Telecom<\/p>\n
Technical Assistants).\n<\/p>\n
      3.    The Telecom Consultancy India Ltd. is a Company<\/p>\n
floated by the Telecom Department.           The staff of the said<\/p>\n
Company were being posted from the said Department after<\/p>\n
inviting options for the same. Thus, when options were invited in<\/p>\n
W.P.(C)No.16784\/06                                        -2-<\/span><\/p>\n
1996    the petitioner opted and his option was accepted.     He was<\/p>\n
relieved from the Telecom Department on 29.2.1996 and joined the<\/p>\n
TCIL on 1.3.1996.       He worked there upto 25.2.1999 and was<\/p>\n
repatriated on 26.2.1999. He rejoined the Telecom Department on<\/p>\n
3.3.1999. Upon rejoining the Department, he found that his juniors<\/p>\n
were sent for training in October, 1996 and they were posted as T.T.A.<\/p>\n
The petitioner was sent for training on 1.4.1999. He completed the<\/p>\n
training on 11.6.1999.     While awaiting posting as T.T.A., he filed<\/p>\n
Exhibit P5 representation dated 9.7.1999 before the General Manager,<\/p>\n
Kerala Telecom, claiming that his seniority may be restored and the<\/p>\n
monetary loss may be cured and compensated on account of the delay<\/p>\n
in posting as T.T.A.     The Divisional Engineer replied to the said<\/p>\n
representation by Exhibit P6 pointing out that the petitioner should<\/p>\n
blame himself for having opted to go on deputation. He went there on<\/p>\n
his own volition and therefore he is responsible for his grievances.<\/p>\n
Thereupon,    the    petitioner   filed Exhibit  P7    comprehensive<\/p>\n
representation highlighting his grievances and the grounds for<\/p>\n
redressing the same before the Chief General Manager, Kerala<\/p>\n
Telecom, the next higher authority. When the said representation was<\/p>\n
pending, he filed the above O.A., before the CAT. The said O.A. was<\/p>\n
W.P.(C)No.16784\/06                                          -3-<\/span><\/p>\n
dismissed on the ground of limitation, by Exhibit P8 order dated<\/p>\n
9.4.2001. The said order was set aside by this Court by Exhibit P9<\/p>\n
judgment in O.P.No.21066\/01 filed by the petitioner. The Tribunal was<\/p>\n
directed to examine his case on merits. Pursuant to the remand by<\/p>\n
this Court, the matter was reconsidered by the CAT and by the present<\/p>\n
impugned order, Exhibit P14 dated 1.3.2006, the O.A. was again<\/p>\n
dismissed.   The Tribunal rejected the contentions of the petitioner<\/p>\n
holding that the petitioner went on his own volition on deputation and<\/p>\n
therefore he should blame himself for not availing the opportunity to<\/p>\n
go for training. It was also held that the O.A. is not maintainable for<\/p>\n
not impleading the affected juniors.        This writ petition is filed<\/p>\n
challenging Exhibit P14 order.\n<\/p>\n
      4.   According to the petitioner, his case is squarely covered by<\/p>\n
Exhibit   P15   judgment    of    the   CAT,   Ernakulam     bench   in<\/p>\n
O.A.No.485\/2000 dated 14.11.2002. The case of the second applicant<\/p>\n
in that O.A. is identical to that of the petitioner.   Though no one<\/p>\n
affected was impleaded, relief was granted in that writ petition. The<\/p>\n
petitioner also relied on paragraph 22 of that common judgment<\/p>\n
wherein, the contention raised by the respondents against the second<\/p>\n
applicant in O.A.No485\/2000 that he went on deputation on his own<\/p>\n
W.P.(C)No.16784\/06                                           -4-<\/span><\/p>\n
volition and therefore he should blame himself, was considered and<\/p>\n
overruled. It was held that a deputationist continues in the parent<\/p>\n
cadre and he will not lose promotion chances or seniority by virtue of<\/p>\n
deputation.   The petitioner submits, the said principle is squarely<\/p>\n
applicable to his case also. In view of the non-impleadment of the<\/p>\n
affected parties, the petitioner prays that the matter may be remitted<\/p>\n
to the Chief General Manager, Kerala Telecom to consider Exhibit P7<\/p>\n
with notice to the affected parties.\n<\/p>\n
      5.   We heard the learned Standing Counsel for the BSNL. He<\/p>\n
opposes the reliefs sought in the writ petition. He supports the order<\/p>\n
of the CAT and prays for dismissal of the writ petition.<\/p>\n
      6.   As a result of supersession of the petitioner in the matter of<\/p>\n
sending for training and consequential posting as T.T.A., serious<\/p>\n
perjudice is caused to him. His entire career, is adversely affected.<\/p>\n
Further, we notice that the view taken in paragraph 22 of Exhibit P15<\/p>\n
judgment is the correct legal position. Therefore, the matter requires<\/p>\n
reconsideration at the hands of the second respondent, in the light of<\/p>\n
Exhibit P15 with notice to the affected juniors. The decision on Exhibit<\/p>\n
P7 shall be taken as directed above within four months from the date<\/p>\n
of production of a copy of this judgment. The notice to the affected<\/p>\n
W.P.(C)No.16784\/06                                          -5-<\/span><\/p>\n
persons need not be personal notice to them, but, by circulation as in<\/p>\n
the case of calling for option, deputation, etc. The proposal to consider<\/p>\n
Exhibit P7 shall be circulated among his juniors so that any one who<\/p>\n
wants to object can file his objection.\n<\/p>\n
     In the result, Exhibit P14 is quashed and the Writ Petition is<\/p>\n
disposed of.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
                            K.BALAKRISHNAN NAIR,JUDGE.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
                                  M.C.HARI RANI, JUDGE.\n<\/p>\n
