Mysuru: The Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) has adjourned the hearing in an appeal filed by IAS officer B Sharat against his premature transfer from the post of Mysuru deputy commissioner, after the advocate general sought time for argument, stated a source. The case has been posted to October 23 for arguments. Following technical glitches on Wednesday, while hearing the case through videoconferencing, the case was posted to Friday. After the petitioner advocate made his argument, the defence counsel sought time, following which the court postponed the hearing.
Sharat knocked on the doors of the CAT, challenging his premature transfer as Mysuru DC. Sharat was posted as Mysuru DC on August 29, but after the government posted Rohini Sindhuri as the Mysuru DC, within a month after his posting in late September, Sharat approached the court.
