22. Limitation
1.
The
Tribunal shall not admit an application-
a. in a case where a
final order such as is mentioned in clause (a) of sub-section (2) of section 21
has been made unless the application is made within six months from the date on
which such final order has been made;
b. in a case where a
petition or a representation such as is mentioned in clause (b) of sub-section
(2) of section 21 has been made and the period of six months has expired
thereafter without such final order having been made;
c. in a case where the
grievance in respect of which an application is made had arisen by reason of
any order made at any time during the period of three years immediately
preceding the date on which jurisdiction, powers and authority of the Tribunal
became exercisable under this Act, in respect of the matter to which such order
relates and no proceedings for the redressal of such grievance had been
commenced before the said date before the High Court.
2.
Notwithstanding
anything contained in sub-section (1), the Tribunal may admit an application
after the period of six months referred to in clause (a) or clause (b) of
sub-section (1), as the case may be, or prior to the period of three years
specified in clause (c), if the Tribunal is satisfied that the applicant had
sufficient cause for not making the application within such period.
