Versus Union of India and another. ..Respondents. ... Mr.P.V. Daware, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr.K.R. Choudhari, Advocate for the respondent. ... CORAM : F. I. REBELLO & K. K. TATED, JJ. DATED : NOVEMBER 13, 2009 P.C. 1. The petitioners have approached this Court to challenge the order dated 23rd March, 1999 passed by the Full Bench of the Administrative Tribunal by a Writ Petition filed in the year, 2009. 2. The only explanation for the laches is that the petitioners were making representations. In our opinion, once there is an order of the Tribunal, making representations has no consequence until the order is set-aside. No authority can grant any relief contrary to the order of the Tribunal. 13.wp.7962-09 2 3. The learned Advocate for the petitioners sets-out that there were two Original Applications, viz., Original Application No. 856/1996 & Original Application No.352/1997. The petitioners were the applicants in Original Application No. 352/1997. It is the case of the petitioners that they came in time with the applicants in Original Application No.856/1996 who have filed a Petition before this Court which has been admitted. 4. The ground that the another set of applicants have filed a Petition and that is admitted is not answer to the laches. However, if the applicants in O.A. No.856 of 1996 succeeds and the petitioner superseded, it will be open for them to make a representation which will be disposed of according to law. 5. With the above observations, Petition is disposed of. (K.K.TATED, J.) (F.I. REBELLO,J.)
