CJI,
B.N. KIRPAL
ACT:
HEADNOTE:
Verma,
CJI.
In the
present case the fact that certified copy of the order dated 13.04.92 passed by
the Assistant Collector was applied by the appellant no 9.5.93, is of no
consequence. As mentioned in the Tribunal's order it was not in dispute that
the order dated 13.04.92 was served upon the appellants herein on 20.04.92 by
delivery of the same to the counsel for the appellants in the High Court. That
being so the appellants cannot claim the benefit of the exclusion of the time
taken for obtaining a certified copy thereafter. The appeal filed to the
Collector by the appellant was.
There fore,
rightly dismissed as time barred on 19.10.95. The appeal is accordingly,
dismissed.
