This revision petition has been filed with a delay of 306 days which is over and above the statutory period of 90 days given for filing the revision petition.  Under the Consumer Protection Act, 1986 the consumer fora are required to decide the case in a summary manner within 90 days of its filing where no evidence is required to be

taken and within 150 days where the evidence is required to be taken.  In the present case, the delay of 306 days over and above the statutory period given for filing the revision petition, cannot be condoned without showing sufficient cause.  The only reason given for condonation of delay in the application is that the petitioner being a senior citizen of age 78 years old, was not aware that he can approach this Hon’ble Commission for redressal of his genuine grievance and due to his wife being in frequent indisposition and prolonged illness, he could not manage to file the revision petition earlier.

            We  are  not  satisfied  with the cause shown.  Application for condonation of delay is dismissed.  Consequently, revision petition is dismissed as barred by time.
