R.P.(C) No. 002026 - 002027 / 2019

A review petition filed with an inordinate, unexplained delay of 394 days is liable to be dismissed on the ground of delay alone, even if the court proceeds to examine the merits. As analyzed on casestatus.in, a mere condonation application without satisfactory justification cannot override the petitioner's obligation to approach the court within prescribed limitation periods, and such delay coupled with lack of merit on the underlying order warrants outright dismissal.
