        This revision petition is filed with a delay of 118 days. The only reason given for condoning the delay in the application for condonation of delay, reads as under:-
“4. That immediately on receipt of the certified copy of the order, the same was placed before the competent authority for taking appropriate action and after due deliverance, the advise was sought from the legal department on the same.
 
5. That thus the time consumed in filing the accompanying Revision Petition is due to administrative exigencies and is neither wilful nor intentional.”
 

            The Consumer Foras under the Consumer Protection Act, 1986 have to decide the cases in a summary manner within a stipulated period. The District Forum on filing of the complaint is supposed to decide the complaint within 90 days if no evidence is to be taken and in 150 days if evidence is taken. The statutory period given for filing the appeal is 30 days whereas statutory period for filing the revision petition is 90 days from the date of the receipt of the copy of the order. In this case, delay is more than 100 days, which is over and above the statutory period, i.e., 90 days for filing the revision petition. We are not satisfied with the reasons shown by the petitioner for condonation of delay. Administrative exigencies are no ground to condone the inordinate delay of 180 days. The revision petition is dismissed on the ground of delay.
