1. This writ petition has been filed challenging an order dated May 14, 2025, whereby the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT), Kolkata Branch, Kolkata, dismissed OA. 350/596/2025, being an original application filed by the present writ petitioner.
2. The crux of the grievance of the present writ petitioner with which she approached the Tribunal is that disciplinary proceedings are not being conducted against her husband who has married her during the subsistence of his first marriage.
