There is no Statutory appeal. However, High Courts can review CAT orders through writ petitions under Articles 226 and 227 of the Constitution of India.

Litigants must note that appeal against an order of the Central Administrative Tribunal under its contempt jurisdiction lies before the Supreme Court. This power is a Statutory provision under the Contempt of Court Act.
