Sir,
Filed OA in CAT court for transfer order cancellation alongwith interim relief of stay. CAT denied stay but given 04 week time for department to answer querry in OA. Applicant filed writ petition in High Court and High Court gave directives to CAT to consider the case a fresh. Applicant promptly submitted the High Court decision to office but office on same day issued relieving order. Now, querry is when High Court gave directives to CAT and department even not waited for CAT decision whether this amounts contempt of court. The next hearing is after seven days till time whether applicant should comply with relieving order or should file contempt petition. Please guide

There cannot be a definite answer. It is better if the CAT is urged to give its final decision than seeking any interim directions.

If High Court has given such a directive department can not rush. You consult your lawyer and file contempt if order of High Court is to that extent.
