It commences from the date of its publication in the Official Gazette, or from the date of notification of the person concerned, or of that person’s certain knowledge of the decision’s content and substance, whenever such knowledge is established. Inference of its existence or absence. A matter of fact. - The challenged judgment’s inference from the case papers that the appellants’ knowledge of the administrative authority’s rejection of their request to include their deceased predecessor’s name in the list of martyrs was established, and its consequent determination that the present action was brought after the legally prescribed time limit for bringing an action to annul an administrative decision. Its ruling setting aside the first-instance judgment and declaring the action inadmissible for being brought out of time, on reasonable grounds. The challenge to it in this respect is unfounded.
