Please visist the website of CAT http://cgat.gov.in/ Wheere there is a page on the jurisdiction. Thuis list includes ITPO, CDAC, SAMEER, KVS
Employees of Authoronomous organisation s are not Govt employees.
Extention of Artcle 211 (2) to them is only a mean of protecting arbitarry dismissal which is mandatory as per Principles of Natural Justice.
