RAMKRISHNA vs UNION OF INDIA . — C.A. No. 1089/2006

Case Summary: Ramkrishna v. Union of India (C.A. No. 1089/2006) Outcome: The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal on September 21, 2011, upholding the High Court's rejection of the appellant's review application. The Court agreed that the appellant's original application before the Central Administrative Tribunal was filed in the wrong forum (Industrial-cum-Labour Court instead of the proper administrative authority), and therefore limitation provisions did not apply to extend the filing deadline. Facts: Ramkrishna, a retired railway employee, sought to continue occupying official accommodation after superannuation in 1988. Following rejection of his request, he filed before the wrong court in 1991, then belatedly approached the Administrative Tribunal in 2001 with a delay condonation plea. The Tribunal, High Court, and ultimately the Supreme Court rejected his claim that the ~1.5 year delay fell within statutory limitation. No further proceedings mentioned; case concluded.
