Judgment & Decree

SHAFIUR RAHMAN, J.‑‑‑The petitioners, by two separate Petitions under Article 212(3) of the Constitution seek leave to appeal against the two separate judgments of the Service Tribunal dated 15‑10‑1987 and 23‑9‑1987 whereby their appeals before the Tribunal were held to be barred by time and dismissed.

2. In both the Petitions, it appears that after their appeals were dismissed by the departmental authorities they filed Revisions before the Inspector‑General Police and came to the Service Tribunal only when they were told that no such revision petition was competent. The Tribunal refused to condone the delay on the ground that the Petitioners had no right to file revision or second appeal to the Inspector‑General Police and the time consumed could not be allowed for extension of time prescribed for filing appeals before the Tribunal.

3. The view taken by the Service Tribunal suffers from no legal infirmity and no case for leave to appeal is made out, hence leave to appeal is refused. H.B.T./A‑632/S Leave refused.
