This Court has already held in Thomas Thomas v. Kottayam Municipality - 2008 (3) KLT 964 that the Tribunal has no power to condone the delay and that in such cases this Court also will not be justified in entertaining a writ petition under Art.226 of the Constitution and granting the relief. 3. In view of the above decision, the prayer in this writ petition seeking to quash Ext.P7 is only to be rejected and I do so. Writ petition is dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE mt/-
