This is in continuation of our discussion of my above grievance.
Finally the case reached at argument stage during February/March 2026. I submitted written arguments with all justifications. In all 12 claims were there.
The Respondent also submitted written arguments in response.
I challenged the Respondent's few arguments by additional written arguments and requested to respond.
On next hearing date, the Respondent did not reply and agreed to issue judgement/order with consent of my Advoctae.
To our surprise, the judgement /order was delivered during April, with Tribunal's conclusion that as the Respondent is SFI and not getting any grant from Government , non of the claims are tenable. Hence the Application was closed.
The question is, If the Respondent did not reply to/challenged my additional arguments and agreed for Order, that means my arguments were valid and the Respondent had no ground to reply/challenge.
Then the judgement should have been my favour. But to our surprise, it was other way round. The Respondent who couldnot challenge/reply my additional arguments, the Tribunal favoured the Respondent. Is it not grave error/ procedural lapse before delivering the judgement?
I am planning to challenge the Order in High Court after consulting a senior lawyer. He is of the opinion that this is straight forward case to win, but not sure how many years it may take because of the huge backlog at High Court.
KIndly guide with your valuable experience, is it advisible to go for long legal battel. The problem is, I am now 72 years old citizen, spending from retiral savings for legal fight. Where as the Respondent is spending from Public Trust's money.
