Administrative Tribunal for Government Service Disputes
The Administrative Tribunals Act, 1980 provides for Administrative Tribunals to deal with specified matters relating to the terms and conditions of service of persons in the service of the Republic or eligible statutory public authorities. This includes certain service actions and pension-related matters.
The Bangladesh Judiciary also identifies the Administrative Tribunal as the forum having jurisdiction over relevant government service disputes, with appeals from Administrative Tribunal decisions going to the Administrative Appellate Tribunal.
Administrative Tribunal and Appellate Tribunal Appeals
A government employee may have the right to challenge an eligible service decision before the Administrative Tribunal. However, where a higher administrative authority has an available remedy under the applicable service law, that remedy may need to be pursued before approaching the Tribunal. The Act also contains specific limitation requirements.
An aggrieved person may appeal an Administrative Tribunal decision to the Administrative Appellate Tribunal subject to the applicable statutory requirements and time limits.
Legal Remedies for Government Service Matters in Bangladesh
Depending on the facts and applicable law, a government employee may have several possible legal remedies, including:
- Departmental appeal or review
- Administrative Tribunal proceedings
- Appeal before the Administrative Appellate Tribunal
- Writ proceedings where legally applicable
- Other remedies available under the relevant service law
The correct legal route depends on the nature of the order, available departmental remedies, jurisdiction, limitation and the employee’s service status. Therefore, it is important to review the matter before filing proceedings.
