| Decision |
The appeal was dismissed as the review petition was found to be time-barred. The tribunal held that the appellant did not provide sufficient grounds for extending the time for the review petition and that the review was never entertained by the authority. The review petition was dismissed on the basis of the lack of explanation regarding the delay. The decision reinforced the principle that limitations cannot be deemed condoned by implication. |
| Summary |
This case revolves around the dismissal of a review petition filed by Ch. Tauqir Ahmad against the Government of Punjab, concerning a disciplinary action that resulted in the withholding of increments. The Service Tribunal examined the circumstances of the review petition, which was deemed time-barred due to the appellant's failure to provide a timely explanation for the delay. The tribunal clarified that merely sending for comments does not imply that a review petition has been entertained. This case highlights important legal principles regarding limitations and the procedural requirements for appeals and reviews under the Punjab Service Tribunals Act and the Punjab Civil Servants (Efficiency and Discipline) Rules.
