| Decision |
The appeal was dismissed as time-barred. The Tribunal held that the appellant, Mirza M. Anwar Beyg, failed to file his appeal within the prescribed limitation period under Section 4 of the Service Tribunals Act. The appellant's claims were based on alleged irregularities in his reversion and the fixation of his seniority, but he did not approach the Tribunal within six months from its establishment. The Tribunal ruled that the limitation period is strict and does not allow for extensions based on correspondence with departmental authorities. The dismissal of the appeal does not prevent the respondents from considering the appellant's case on its merits, should it warrant further investigation. |
