https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=456166 Section 9 of the Maharashtra Employees of Private Schools Act confers an appeal right on an aggrieved employee, but it does not permit stale challenges to be brought at any time. The Supreme Court held that, even where no fixed limitation period is prescribed, the remedy must be pursued within a reasonable time and delayed appeals may be entertained only on sufficient cause being shown. A delay of nearly 10 years, supported by no cogent explanation and with knowledge of the appointment from the outset, was treated as inordinate. The Tribunal was therefore justified in refusing to condone the delay and in declining to entertain the challenge. en-us Tue, 10 Sep 2013 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 04 Jul 2024 11:45:41 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=456166 Section 9 of the Maharashtra Employees of Private Schools Act confers an appeal right on an aggrieved employee, but it does not permit stale challenges to be brought at any time.
