JAMMU, Jan 2: The Central Administrative Tribunal , Jammu Bench, has scripted a remarkable turnaround by achieving unprecedented milestones in case disposal since its establishment, emerging as the best-performing bench among all 19 regional benches of CAT across the country.
Following the transfer of nearly 25,000 cases from the Jammu and Kashmir High Court in June 2020, which were in pending lists in High Court along with cases instituted in the same year, the Jammu Bench has successfully cleared pendency relating to matters up to the year 2020.
Of these, around 17,500 cases were disposed of within a short span of just two years, during 2024 and 2025. In 2024 alone, the CAT Jammu Bench disposed of nearly 10,000 cases, securing the No. 1 position among all CAT benches in India.
The momentum continued in 2025, with the disposal of approximately 7,500 cases, once again placing the Jammu Bench at the top nationwide, so a significant contribution to this exceptional achievement has been made by Judicial Member Rajinder Dogra, who single-handedly disposed of 13,800 cases out of the total 17,500 cases cleared during the two-year period, no doubts a lesson for others to show their presence to finish the word "DELAY IN JUSTICE IS DENIAL OF JUSTICE."
It speaks that, at the current pace of disposal, the CAT Jammu Bench is expected to achieve a historic milestone of zero pendency by the end of June 2026, firmly positioning it as the No. 1 Bench of the Central Administrative Tribunal in India.
