Siri Jagan, J. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= W. P (C) No. 18838 of 2008 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 18th November, 2008. J U D G M E N T The petitioner challenges Ext. P11 order of the Tribunal for Local Self Government Institutions, whereby the petitioner's application for condoning delay of 180 days in filing a revision petition against orders of the 2nd respondent-Panchayat in appeal against the order of the Secretary of the Panchayat was sought to be condoned. The Tribunal passed Ext. P11 order on the ground that the Tribunal does not have power to condone the delay of more than 30 days. That issue is squarely covered by the decision of this Court in Thomas Thomas v. Kottayam Municipality, 2008(3) KLT 964. I am in respectful agreement with that judgment. That being so, I do not find anything wrong with Ext. P11 order. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. Sd/- S. Siri Jagan, Judge. Tds/
