MYSURU: The Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT), Bengaluru, on Tuesday told the advocate general that IAS officer B Sharat must be reinstated as Mysuru deputy commissioner within a week, failing which it will be forced to pass an order, sources said.
Sharat had moved CAT in September, challenging his premature transfer within a month of being posted as Mysuru DC. He was replaced by Rohini Sindhuri Dasari.
He was posted to Mysuru after a stint as DC in Kalaburagi where he was lauded for the district’s Covid response in the initial days. Kalaburgi reported India’s first Covid death in March. Sharat had initiated various measures and ensured adequate high-flow nasal oxygen beds.
