PREM PRAKASH TIWRI vs U.O.I. . — C.A. No. 1226/2001

Case Summary: Prem Prakash Tiwri v. U.O.I. (CA No. 001226/2001) The Supreme Court allowed Prem Prakash Tiwri's appeal on February 12, 2001, setting aside orders from the High Court, Tribunal, and Director (Postal Services, Jaipur Region) that had dismissed his departmental appeal solely on grounds of delay of a few days. The Court held that while the Tribunal correctly noted it cannot reappreciate evidence, the competent authority wrongly denied the appellant his right to have the appeal decided on merits. The Court directed that the departmental appeal be decided afresh by the competent authority preferably within eight weeks.
