But as a matter of fact, government employees face diverse problems in their places of work just as others do. As individual employees, they may have certain grievances, complaints regarding their service matters against the government. All such problems, conflicts, grievances etc. need to be looked into expeditiously and with justice, objectivity and fair play in order to ensure smooth running of government services and/or promote socio-economic development of the State. The Government of India has thus set up appropriate institutional structures in the form of Administrative Tribunals not only to function as the final appellate authority in respect of government orders inflicting major penalties of dismissal, removal from service and reduction in rank of government servants, but also to save the courts from an avalanche of writ petitions and appeals in service matters. This paper explores a number of issues pertaining to the merits and demerits, status, jurisdiction and procedure of the Administrative Tribunals in settlement of disputes over service matters.enArticle
