Bengaluru: Rohini Sindhuri Dasari will continue as Deputy Commissioner of Hassan after the High Court on Tuesday ordered maintaining status quo till the matter was decided afresh by the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT), in accordance with the law.

The counsels of both Rohini as well as the state have been asked to appear before CAT on April 2. A division bench of Chief Justice Dinesh Maheshwari and Justice B M Shyam Prasad issued this direction after setting aside the CAT order dated March 21, 2018.

During the Assembly elections, Rohini Sindhuri had been transferred as the Employment and Training Department Commissioner in Bengaluru. Questioning the transfer before the end of her term, Rohini Sindhuri had filed a petition in the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) and subsequently in the High Court.
