P.C. . Affidavit in rejoinder taken on record. . This petition challenges the order dated 31st January, 2005 which condones the delay in filing the appeal before the School Tribunal. The delay is of 725 days. The Tribunal has found that although there has been an inordinate delay it should be condoned in view of the fact that several assurances were given to the appellant that he would be reinstated. In my view there is no need to interfere with this finding of the Tribunal. The Tribunal should decide whether it has jurisdiction since it is the contention of the petitioner that respondent is "Shikshan Sevak’. Petition is dismissed.
