' SAAD SAOOD JAN, J.--This is a petition for special leave to appeal from the judgment, dated 3-8- 1982 of the Punjab Service Tribunal whereby the petitioner's appeal against certain anti-dated pro forma promotions of respondents Nos.1 to 3 was dismissed. By Notification dated 27-9-1975 respondents Nos.1 to 3 were promoted as Principals in Government Commercial Training Institutes with effect from 1-7-1967 and 2-5-1968. On 28-10-1975, the petitioner filed a departmental representation challenging their promotions from back dates. His representation was rejected on 19-11-1975. The petitioner kept quiet till 30-6-1977 when he filed another representation to the same effect. This second representation was rejected on 8-1-1980. He then filed an appeal before the Punjab Service Tribunal on 17-2-1980. It was dismissed inter alia on the ground that it was barred by time.
2. After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner, we are not persuaded that the view taken by the learned Tribunal on the question of limitation suffers from any infirmity. It is contended on behalf of the petitioner that for the purpose of limitation the date of rejection of the second representation should be treated as the starting point. It is difficult to accept this contention, for, he concedes that in the second representation he was seeking the same relief as he had sought in the first representation. This petition is without any merit and is hereby dismissed. revisions by the competent authorities. Therefore, it is advisable to consult the official sources or legal professionals for the most up-to-date and accurate information.
