LONDHE PRAKASH BHAGWAN vs DATTATRAYA EKNATH MANE

The Supreme Court held that the provisions of limitation do not apply to appeals filed under Section 9(1)(b) of the Maharashtra Employees of Private Schools (Conditions of Service) Regulation Act, thereby affirming the High Court's remand of the matter to the School Tribunal for a fresh hearing. The Court emphasized that the School Tribunal's earlier dismissal of the delay application was incorrect due to the misinterpretation of the statutory provisions. Consequently, the appeal was allowed, and the matter was sent back for adjudication.
