Adequate reasons were given by the Tribunal while denying these benefits to the petitioner from the date of petitioner’s representation. The reasons of the Tribunal are neither arbitrary nor illegal. Hence, we see no reason to interfere. Petition is rejected. (V.G. PALSHIKAR, J.) (SMT. RANJANA DESAI, J.)
