Lucknow CAT gets permanent office after 38 years under PM Modi

The Lucknow bench of the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT), established in 1987, has received its first dedicated office building after 38 years—under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

This milestone was noted by Union Minister Dr Jitendra Singh, who also holds charge of the Department of Personnel & Training (DoPT), the administrative ministry overseeing CAT.

In a meaningful gesture to mark Ambedkar Jayanti, commemorating the father of the Indian Constitution, Dr Jitendra Singh and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath jointly inaugurated the new CAT building in Lucknow’s Gomti Nagar.

Constructed at a cost of approximately Rs 250 million, fully funded by the DoPT, the new premises mark a significant development for the administrative justice system in the capital city.

Addressing the gathering, Dr Singh remarked that since its inception in 1987, the Tribunal had been operating from rented accommodation. The establishment of its own premises reflects the developmental pace achieved through the “double-engine government” model—referring to the Centre-State partnership under PM Modi and CM Yogi Adityanath. “This inauguration is one of many examples of the progress made under this collaborative governance approach,” he stated.

Dr Singh highlighted CAT’s mission to deliver justice that is accessible, affordable, and efficient. Since its inception in 1985, the Tribunal has disposed of over 8.88 lakh cases out of the 9.6 lakh filed, recording a remarkable disposal rate of nearly 93%.

He further emphasised CAT’s inclusive approach, citing its nominal ?50 filing fee and provision allowing petitioners to appear without legal representation—truly exemplifying the idea of justice at one’s doorstep.

Dr Singh also underscored the Tribunal’s judicial credibility, noting that many of its verdicts have been upheld by High Courts and the Supreme Court.

Describing the new premises as more than just a physical structure, he said it symbolises the Tribunal’s unwavering commitment to reform, justice, and transparency. The building is designed to provide a conducive environment for judicial proceedings and signifies CAT’s journey from humble beginnings to a respected institution within India’s administrative justice landscape.

With judicial work now commencing from this state-of-the-art facility, the development stands as yet another testament to the Centre-State synergy in Uttar Pradesh and the government’s continued efforts to strengthen institutional infrastructure across the nation.
