SANDEEP MEHTA, SOUMITRA SAIKIA
Union Of India – Appellant
Versus
Chanchal Nag S/O Late Swadesh Ranjan Nag – Respondent
JUDGMENT :
Sandeep Mehta, J.
This writ petition has been preferred by the Union of India and its components for assailing the order dated 08.06.2020, passed by the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT), Guwahati Bench (hereinafter referred to as “the Tribunal”), dismissing the Review Application No. 40/00009/2019, supported by Misc. Application No. 149/2019 preferred by the petitioners seeking condonation of delay of 768 days in filing the Review Application, through which the order dated 04.08.2017, passed in Original Application No. 40/00063/2017 was sought to be recalled/reviewed.
2. Learned counsel Mr. S. C. Keyal, representing the Union of India vehemently and fervently contended that the Tribunal was totally unjustified in rejecting the application seeking condonation of delay in filing of the Review Application by holding that there was no power with the Tribunal so as to condone the delay. He placed reliance on the Full Bench judgment of the Calcutta High Court in the case of Union of India & Ors. Vs. Central Administrative Tribunal & Anr., reported in 2002 SCC OnLineCal597, further reaffirmed by Calcutta High Court in the case of Union of India and Ors. Vs. Ram Krishna Mondal
The right to review is strictly limited to the timeframe established by applicable rules, and delays cannot be condoned without statutory authority.
