Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of limitation under Section 21 of the Administrative Tribunals Act, 1985, determining that an application for execution of a Tribunal's order must be filed within one year from the date the order becomes final, as stipulated in Section 21(1)(a). The Court held that since the final order was issued on March 13, 1992, the appellant's application was barred by limitation, leading to the dismissal of the appeal. The ruling clarifies the enforceability of Tribunal orders and the necessity of adhering to statutory timelines for execution.
