The Tribunal found that the applicant, for the period in question, namely, 1990-91, 1991-92, 1992-93, filed second appeals before the Tribunal. These second appeals were dismissed on 30th November, 2009. The Tribunal found that all the issues, which could have been raised, have been already raised and dealt with.
