1992 PLP (C (PLC(CS))

Authority contended that appeal filed by employee against transfer order and against order passed in review by Reviewing Authority, was not competent being time-barred

Nothing was on record to show that order of retirement of employee and order passed on review petition of employee by Reviewing Authority, were communicated to employee when it was bounden duty of Authorities concerned to communicate same to employee

Date of getting knowledge of orders by employee, would have to be accepted as conclusive for purposes of filing review petition before Reviewing Authority and appeal before Tribunal

Objection that appeal was not competent being time-barred thus was repelled.

Authority had contended that appeal filed by employee was not maintainable as same was improperly filed against three separate orders at one and same time

Contention was repelled as employee was not debarred by any rule of procedure for challenging three or more orders which were part of same transaction.

Appellant could challenge even three or more orders which were the part of same transaction, in one appeal at one and same time where he was not debarred by any rule of procedure.

Order of retirement undisputedly having been passed by Authority retrospectively, possibility of that order having been passed maliciously, could not be ruled out.

Entry of age in respect of a civil servant recorded in the civil list, was not correct proof of date of birth of civil servant and Department must not have picked up that entry to be correct proof of date of birth of employee.
