THE HON’BLE SMT JUSTICE T.MEENA KUMARI AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA WP No.17957 of 1998 JUDGMENT: ( Per the Hon’ble Smt Justice T.Meena Kumari) Questioning the order of the Tribunal in refusing to condone the delay of 1045 in filing the review application, the present writ petition is preferred. It is stated that the applicant-department received the judgment copy on 23.11.1994. Further, the department approached the legal advisor on 10- 4-1996 and they approached the Tribunal on 26th March 1997 and that the Tribunal having not satisfied with the explanation, dismissed the petition. We have gone through the affidavit seeking condonation of delay of 1045 days. Even though the order copy was received by the Department on 23.11.1994, they approached the legal advisor on 10-4-1996 i.e., after a period of 2 years 9 months and they approached the Tribunal on 26th March, 1997. The departments must be diligent in pursuing the matters before the Courts and the Courts would not come to their rescue when they approach as per their convenience. Therefore, we feel that the approach of the department is not a bona fide one and therefore, we do not find any reason to interfere with the order passed by the Tribunal. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. No costs. _____________________________ (JUSTICE T.MEENA KUMARI) ______________________________________ (JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA) rkk Dated: 20-07-2010
