VASANTI A. NAIK & P.B. VARALE, JJ. DATE : AUGUST 05, 2011. None for the petitioner. We have however, perused the petition as also the impugned order passed by the Maharashtra Administrative Tribunal on 7.12.2010 dismissing the original application filed by the petitioner. We do not find any reason to interfere with the impugned order dated 7.12.2010 as the original application was rightly dismissed as it was hopelessly barred by limitation. The petitioner was challenging his superannuation of the year 1992 by filing the original application as late as in the year 2010. The case of the petitioner that he was making representations to the respondents during all these years and therefore there was sufficient cause for belatedly filing the original application was rejected by the Tribunal. No application for condonation of delay in filing the original application was filed before the Tribunal. Even had it been filed, the inordinate delay of 2 about 17 years could not have been condoned, as rightly held by the Tribunal as it was the case of supersession and after the petitioner was allegedly superseded in the year 1992 he was admittedly promoted on the post of Sub Divisional Officer in the year 1995. Hence considering the totality of the facts and circumstances, the Tribunal held that the original application was hopelessly barred by limitation and was therefore liable to be dismissed. Since the order of the Maharashtra Administrative Tribunal is extremely just and proper, the writ petition is dismissed with no order as to costs. JUDGE JUDGE SMP
