In terms of Section 34(3) of the A&C Act it was not possible for any challenge to be entertained beyond the outer limit of 120 days. The language of the provision is abundantly clear and does not admit of any ambiguity. There is no question of entertaining the petitions of the District Judge beyond the 120 days period. The Court finds no error having been committed by the learned District Judge in the impugned orders - Petition dismissed.
