Ramesh, a Central Government clerk, is aggrieved by an order of his promotion denial. Under the Administrative Tribunals Act, 1985, the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) would ordinarily have jurisdiction over which of the following?

The Central Administrative Tribunal has jurisdiction over recruitment and service matters of persons appointed to Central civil services and civil posts. Armed forces members, Supreme Court staff and private employees are outside its scope, so Ramesh's promotion grievance falls within the CAT.

  2. BDisputes of members of the armed forces regarding their service conditions
  3. CService matters of officers of the Supreme Court establishment
  4. DService disputes of employees of private companies

Explanation

The CAT adjudicates recruitment and conditions of service of persons appointed to Union civil services or civil posts. Members of the armed forces, and Supreme Court staff, are excluded from its jurisdiction. Private company employees are not public servants at all.
