There is a delay of 325 days in filing this revision petition. In the application seeking condonation of this delay, care has not been taken to even mention the number of days of delay. The grounds on which condonation of delay is sought are reproduced below: - “Later on the power of attorney holder has obtained the certified copy of the impugned order on payment in the month of November, 2010 and sent it to the petitioner in Saudi Arabia. It took about a month to reach him. Because of his job commitment the petitioner could not come to India to consult any advocate for preferring this appeal. Thereafter, the petitioner came to India in April, 2011 only and then he came to New Delhi in May, 2011 to find out an advocate for preferring this appeal. But due to summer vacation of courts in New Delhi, he could not consult the advocate and prefer this appeal. He, therefore, returned to Saudi Arabia once again. -3- He came to India on vacation once again and consulted the advocate in October, 2011 and authorized his power of attorney holder to conduct the appeal proceedings. Hence, there is a delay of days in preferring this revision petition. This delay is not wilful and deliberate which is beyond his control.” A bare perusal of the “grounds” would show that they are not worth the paper on which they are written. The application for condonation of delay is accordingly declined and the revision petition is dismissed as hopelessly time-barred. |
