evidence is required to be taken and within 150 days where evidence is required to be taken.  The inordinate delay of 696 days cannot be condoned without sufficient cause being shown.  The only cause shown for the delay is that because of death of his wife, advises of the Advocates, financial and family difficulties, the petitioner could not file the revision petition within time.   The delay of each day has to be explained which the petitioner has failed to do.  We are not satisfied with the cause shown for condonation of delay.  Application seeking condonation of delay is dismissed.  Consequently, revision petition is dismissed as barred by time.
