                W.P.(C) NO. 35307 OF 2009 (G)
                =====================

           Dated this the 7th day of January, 2010

                           J U D G M E N T

The challenge in this writ petition is against Ext.P4 by which

the Tribunal has dismissed an application for condonation of delay

of 57 days. In the judgment in Thomas Thomas v. Kottayam

Municipality (2008(3) KLT 964), this Court has held that the

Tribunal has no power to condone the delay beyond 30 days. In

view of the aforesaid judgment, Ext.P4 deserves to be upheld and

the writ petition is therefore dismissed.

ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE
