CAT member recuses from hearing Sanjiv Chaturvedi’s plea – 17th such instance for IFS officer in 13 years

The Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) in Delhi has seen a member, Rajveer Singh Verma, recuse himself from hearing a petition by IFS officer Sanjiv Chaturvedi regarding his Annual Performance Appraisal Report (APAR) on September 21. This is the 17th such instance in 13 years for Chaturvedi, with a total of 17 judges and judicial officers, including Supreme Court judges and Uttarakhand High Court judges, recusing themselves from cases involving the Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer.

In this latest instance, Chaturvedi appeared in person and cited the All India Services (Performance Appraisal Report) Rules, 2007, and a communication from the Additional Chief Secretary, Uttarakhand, for his recusal. The matter was still under a Registry objection, and Verma's recusal will lead to the case being listed before the "appropriate Bench" and notified accordingly.
