Union Of India & Ors vs K.Krishnan Pillai & Ors

The Supreme Court set aside the Kerala High Court's order dated 17.1.2002, referencing the precedent established in Union of India vs. R.Swaminathan (1997) 7 SCC 690, which provided a reasoned judgment on the same legal issue. The Court allowed the appellant to file a review petition before the Tribunal regarding its order dated 29.10.1993, mandating that the Tribunal entertain the petition without limitation objections if filed within six weeks. The Tribunal is instructed to decide the review petition within three months of its filing.
