| Decision |
The appeal filed by Abdul Sattar, a Forester, was dismissed on the grounds of being time-barred. The Tribunal found that the appellant had remained satisfied with the adverse decisions for many years and only raised the issue after a significant delay. The case centered on the confirmation and seniority of the appellant and the Tribunal concluded that the matter was beyond its jurisdiction due to the prolonged period of inaction from the appellant. As a result, the decision of the departmental authorities regarding the appellant's confirmation was upheld. No orders were made as to costs. |
