A review petition filed with a delay of 344 days, absent sufficient cause for condonation, is liable to dismissal on the ground of delay alone; courts may additionally examine the merits and dismiss if no ground warranting reconsideration is made out. As analysed on casestatus.in, an inordinate, unexplained delay in invoking review jurisdiction is itself a self-sufficient ground for rejection under the Supreme Court Rules.
