S.B. Sinha, C.J.1. Whether the State Administrative Tribunal constituted under the Administrative Tribunals Act, 1985 (for short 'the Act') has jurisdiction to condone delay in filing review petition is the question referred to this Full Bench.FACTS:2. The petitioner was appointed as Police Constable in the Armed Reserve Police of Karimnagar District in the year 1990. By an order dated 31-10-1991, the respondent terminated the services of the petitioner on the ground that he did not undergo the three star test at the time of selection.

V.V.S. Rao, J.1. The petitioner is a statewide Association. It is registered and established under the Societies Registration Act, 1860 with the object of safeguarding the rights of the persons belonging to Scheduled Tribes and espouse their cause in regard to their employment. Complaining fraud and misrepresentation the association filed this writ petition praying for a writ of or in the nature of Mandamus, holding that the appointment of the first respondent herein to the post of District and Sessions Judge, is void, unconstitutional, and also for a prayer to set aside the same.2. When the writ petition was listed before this Full Bench on 27-3-2001, it was brought to our notice that the first respondent filed W.P No. 18031 of 1999 questioning a show cause notice dated 16-8-1999, issued by the Mandal Revenue Officer, Parvathipuram (MRO), calling upon him to show cause as to why his application forissuance of Caste Certificate to his children and other family members as belonging to '...
