ORDER1. Heard counsel for the parties.2. The appellant wanted to challenge the order of the Controlling Authority dated July 6, 2006 directing payment of gratuity to respondent No. 1. However, the appeal was preferred beyond 120 days from the date of order. Hence the appellate authority did not entertain the appeal. The learned single Judge held that the appellate authority had no jurisdiction to condone the delay in preferring the appeal beyond 120 days. In J.L. Morrison India Ltd. Mumbai v. Dy.
