Former Chief Secretary Minnie Mathew took charge as Member (Administration) of the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT), Hyderabad Bench, at HAC Bhavan here on Thursday.
In an informal discussion with officials of CAT, she thanked the Government Of India for entrusting the responsibility to her.
"All possible efforts will be put forward to uphold and uplift the image of the CAT. I will fulfill the duty of protecting the service conditions of the officials of the Government Of India, duly resolving the disputes with reference to recruitment, seniority and other relevant service matters, without any fear or favour," she said.
The CAT has been established for the adjudication of disputes with respect to recruitment and conditions of service of persons appointed to public services and posts. It has its principal bench located at Delhi, with benches at various locations in India, one of them being at Hyderabad.
Mathew, who belongs to the 1976 IAS batch of the AP cadre, had served as the Chief Secretary to the government of AP earlier. She started her bureaucratic career as Sub-Collector at Rajampet, and later served as the Collector of Hyderabad.
She has also been a part of many other important central and state bodies.
Justice P Swaroop Reddy, M Kanthaiah, Ranjana Chowdhary, P K Basu and other officials of CAT congratulated Mathew, and wished for success in her new endeavour. (INN)
