Established under the Administrative Tribunals Act, 1985, as a sequel to the 42nd Constitutional amendment inserting Article 323A, the Central Administrative Tribunal came into existence on November 1, 1985.

It adjudicates disputes and complaints related to recruitment and service conditions of persons appointed to public services and posts in connection with the affairs of the Union, states, and other local authorities under the government of India.

The tribunal also exercises jurisdiction over employees of 230 public sector undertakings and organisations notified by the government.

Over the last 39 years, the tribunal has played a pivotal role in providing inexpensive and speedy justice, a statement issued by the personnel ministry said.

"From 1985 till July 2025, about 9,72,720 cases have been instituted in the tribunal, of which 9,03,617 have been disposed of, reflecting an impressive disposal rate of 92.89 per cent," it said.

Guided by principles of natural justice, the tribunal empowers aggrieved government employees to file applications against a nominal fee of ₹50, the statement said.

The conference aims to deliberate on the way forward for strengthening the judicial and administrative system, with particular emphasis on enhancing efficiency, improving disposal rates, and ensuring timely delivery of justice to government employees.

The deliberations are expected to contribute towards further improving CAT's role as a cost-effective, accessible, and effective forum for service-related grievances, the statement said.
