1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO. 6817 OF 2008 Vihnu Shivram Chaudhari. ...... ..... Petitioner. Versus The Secretary, Home Department Mantralaya, & Anr. ........ ..... Respondents. Mr. K. R. Jagdale for the Petitioner. Mr. V. S. Masurkar, Govt. Pleader for the Respondents. CORAM : BILAL NAZKI and J. H. BHATIA, JJ. DATED : 21ST NOVEMBER, 2008. P.C.: The petitioner was removed from the services in July, 1998. He approached the Administrative Tribunal in the year 2007. The Tribunal found that the Original Application was time barred and therefore dismissed the same. Learned Counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner had filed an appeal which was decided in the year 2006. Therefore, he was within time to file the Original Application. We do not find this submission substantiated by the material placed before us. It appears that the petitioner after removal from the services only moved a representation and not an appeal. On 1st February, 1999 that representation was also considered by the Government and rejected. He was communicated its rejection by 28th April, 2005. 2 Therefore, even if 28th April, 2005 was taken into consideration as a date for computing limitation, even than the Original Application was not within time. 2. In the circumstances, we find no merit in this writ petition, which is hereby dismissed. Sd/- (BILAL NAZKI, J.) Sd/- (J. H. BHATIA, J.)
