U O I vs NARPAT LAL — C.A. No. 7664 - 7665/1997

Summary: The Supreme Court dismissed Union of India's appeals challenging the Central Administrative Tribunal's jurisdiction to entertain an Original Application filed by respondent-employees. The Court rejected the appellant's argument that the CAT lacked jurisdiction, holding that since the respondents were casual labourers—not uniformed Armed Forces members holding any lien—the tribunal had proper jurisdiction to decide the matter. No costs were awarded. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
