ORDER

' SAAD SAOOD JAN, J.--The petitioner was a Senior English Teacher in National Pay Scale No,14. On 30-5-1977 she was promoted to N.P.S. 17 in relaxation of all service rules. Her promotion involved supersession of 240 teachers without any justification. Immediately after the imposition of the Martial Law, her case was reviewed by the Departmental Promotion Committee and she was reverted back to N.P.S.

14. She made representations against her reversion on 17-11-1977, 15-1-1979, 1-3-80 and 12-4-1982.

She was informed on 26-1-1983 that her representations had been rejected. She filed a writ petition in the High Court to call in question the legality of the order of her reversion. This was dismissed in limine on the ground that the High Court had no jurisdiction to interfere in service matters. She then filed an appeal before the Punjab Service Tribunal. It was dismissed as barred by time. She now seeks leave to appeal from this Court.

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. The petition is dismissed.
