law: The Administrative Tribunals Act, 1985
  19. Applications to Tribunals. -
  (1) Subject to the other provisions of this
  
  Act, a person aggrieved by any order pertaining to any matter within the
  
  jurisdiction of a Tribunal may make an application to the Tribunal for the
  
  redressal of his grievance. 
  Explanation :
  (a) by the Government or a local or other
  
  authority within the territory of India or under the control of the Government
  
  of India or by any corporation or society owned or controlled by the
  
  Government; or 
  (b) by an officer, committee or other body or
  
  agency of the Government or a local or other authority or corporation or
  
  society referred to in clause (a). 
  (2) Every application under sub-section (1)
  
  shall be in such form and be accompanied by such documents or other evidence
  
  and by such fee (if any, not exceeding one hundred rupees) in respect of the
  
  filing of such application and by such other fees for the service or execution
  
  of processes, as may be prescribed by the Central Government. 
  (3) On receipt of an application under
  
  sub-section (1), the Tribunal shall, if satisfied after such inquiry as it may
  
  deem necessary, that the application is a fit case for adjudication or trial by
  
  it, admit such application; but where the Tribunal is not so satisfied, it may
  
  summarily reject the application after recording its reasons. 
  (4) Where an application has been admitted by
  
  a Tribunal under sub-section (3), every proceeding under the relevant service
  
  rules as to redressal of grievances in relation to the subject-matter of such
  
  application pending immediately before such admission shall abate and save as
  
  otherwise direct by the Tribunal, no appeal or representation in relation to
  
  such matter shall thereafter be entertained under such rules. 
  Comments: It is settled law that the Tribunal
  
  has only power of judicial review of the administrative action of the appellant
  
  on complaints relating to service conditions of employees. It is the exclusive
  
  domain of the disciplinary authority to consider the evidence on record and to
  
  record findings whether the charge has been proved or not. It is equally
  
  settled law that technical rules of evidence has no application for the
  
  disciplinary proceedings and the authority is to consider the material on
  
  record. In judicial review, it is settled law that the Court or the Tribunal
  
  has no power to trench on the jurisdiction to appreciate the evidence and to
  
  arrive at its own conclusion. State of T.N. v. S. Subramaniam, AIR 1996
