R.P.(C) No. 001171 / 2014

A review petition filed with an inordinate delay of 308 days, unsupported by any satisfactory explanation in the condonation application, is liable to dismissal on grounds of delay alone, independent of merits. As analyzed on casestatus.in, courts retain discretion to examine the petition on merits regardless, and may dismiss it on both grounds simultaneously where no valid basis for review is established.
