You have an Good Case. Refer Section 27 of the CAT Act 1985.-- Execution of Orders of the Tribunal. First Check with the Concerned Department and then Discuss with your Advocate and Proceed.

Usually, if the department receives court orders, they obtain a legal opinion from the Government Pleader/instructions from the concerned HOD, then the department take action.

Has the Department approached the High Court in a Writ of Certiorari? If not, Contempt Petition could be filed. The Department is bound to implement the directions, once the CP is filed and due notice is issued to the respondents.

1.How can you confirm whether Department has approached to High court nor not
2.Whether I will get any intimation/notice from High court
3, Whether i can file Contempt of court if they have approached to High court

As to implementation of the CAT directions, you may seek the information under RTI Act.
Once the Writ is filed and admitted, you need to be served notice.
Technically, a contempt petition could be filed unless the CAT directions are stayed by the High Court. However, even if there is no stay, the Tribunals are slow to proceed with the CP, once Writ is filed.

(1) If my department did not proceed to high court till date , then after filing my Contempt to court can they proceed to high court for challenging the CAT( Central Administrative Tribunal) order.
(2) If they proceed to high court after my submission of Contempt of court to CAT( Central Administrative Tribunal ) , will the high court admit the case.
(3) Can i submit any document to CAT in the contempt of court which is not in the public domin like Confidential file, Administrative file etc .

Filing of contempt does not prevent the the department from approaching the High Court or the High Court admitting the Writ Petition. In the CP only the limited question of implementation of the the directions alone could be taken up. Your advocate would guide you in the matter.

In my posting order copy Central administrative tribunal order (CAT) has direct the authorities to explore the possibilities of adjusting /retaining the applicant(Me) in Station X against a vacancy or a nearest vacancy till the post at Station X fall vacant keeping in mind the sprit of the DOPT OM dated 30.09.09. I am confused with the term NEAREST VAVANCY . The term NEAREST VAVANCY meaning
1) In that same station X with additional creation of vacancy oy to the lower position
2) In the different station (Say station Y) nearer to station X. Then what should be the distance between station X and station y

But even after getting the court order copy and contempt of court copy , authority issuing the letter to follow the transfer order which court already set aside, otherwise authority will take disciplinary action against me

You have complicated the thread with so many questions.

The facts are that

(1) you won a CAT case
(2) department has not implemented it.
(3) you have no notice from High Court apparently there is no appeal so far.

In case order is not more than three months old then the moment you file CP they will feel like going to High Court. But in that case they have to enter both courts with clean hands without hiding any facts.

Now your imaginary query regarding department even try to avoid CP. Well if they are able to do so they are entitled being brave enough.

But can you imagine the Secretary of the Ministry (mostly IAS) who is highest authority of the department be happy with a situation of appearing before a Court to be humiliated just for the sake of not giving you relief as granted by court?

So far in the last more than 1/3 of century (CAT established in 1985) there has not been even a single case of any head of department to go to Jail by order of CAT in contempt case (though CAT is empowered). They come with compliance or with stay from High Court.

Has the Department approached the High Court in WP. Anyhow, you cannot make any claim before the Tribunal or the High Court. The only option, a you are fully aware, is to approach the CAT in a Contempt Proceedings.

You are making multiple queries with inconsistent facts.
The facts posted in the thread https://www.lawyersclubindia.com/forum/details.asp?mod_id=212302&offset=1 suggest that the OA, if at all filed, is yet to be disposed of. However, the case status does not reveal of any OA filed by Pankaj Dev. Please come clean with facts.
