BARKATH ALI, JJ. ___________________________________ R.P.No.491 OF 2011 IN O.P.(CAT)No.164 OF 2011 _____________________________________ Dated this the 11th day of July, 2011 ORDER Ramkumar, J. We do not find any error, much less any error of law apparent on the face of the record, in the judgment dated January 13, 2011 dismissing the original petition filed against the order passed by the Central Administrative Tribunal. Admittedly, petitioner approached the Central Administrative Tribunal 38 years after his services were terminated. He has been guilty of gross laches and his contention that he has been petitioning the authorities all these years did not convince the Central Administrative Tribunal as well as this court. This Review Petition is accordingly dismissed. V. RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. P.Q. BARKATH ALI, JUDGE. sv
