By an order today, this petition was dismissed in limine for reasons to be recorded separately. 2. Of the four petitions that have been filed by the main petitioner, viz., Kerala State Electricity Board after considerable delays, this is the worst – it has been filed after a delay of as many as 338 days. As observed in the orders on some other petitions filed by the same ..2.. petitioner and considered today for admission, the application for condonation of delay in this case is a mindless repetition of the same stale grounds, viz., the time taken at two specific stages – of legal consultation and according sanction for filing the petition. There is no attempt to explain why and how such an inordinate delay actually took place in this case. In fact, the application shows how lightly the Board deals with the issue of limitation for filing of revision petitions, as laid down in regulation 14 of the Consumer Protection Regulations, 2005. I am not inclined to condone the delay because the reasons stated by the petitioner are, to put it mildly, grossly unsatisfactory and invalid. In this context, the petitioner would be well advised to bear in mind the ratio of the Apex Court judgment in the case of SBI Vs. B.S. Agriculture Industries (I) [ (2009) 5 SCC 121].
