The Tribunal dismissed the appeal of the petitioner which was against his removal from service under section 17(1-A) of the WAPDA Act. His appeal unfortunately was not considered on merits but was thrown out as being hopelessly barred by time. ' Learned counsel appearing in support of this petition could not give any satisfactory explanation as to why jurisdiction of the Tribunal was invoked so late. The Tribunal after taking into consideration the explanation offered by the petitioner and other circumstances declined to exercise discretion in favour of A the petitioner on the ground that "ignorance of law is no excuse. ' Nothing can be done for the petitioner. Leave is declined.
