S.M. Munawalli vs State Of Karnataka

The Supreme Court held that the Karnataka Administrative Tribunal's dismissal of the appellant's petition on the grounds of limitation was erroneous, as the dispute regarding pension arose on 28-2-1993, and the application was filed in 1995, thus not barred by delay. The Court quashed the Tribunal's order and directed it to reconsider the matter on merits, specifically regarding the inclusion of past service in determining pension. The appeal was disposed of without costs.
