Application for condonation of delay has been filed to condone the delay of 424 days in filing the Revision Petition, which is over and above the period of 90 days statutorily given to file the Revision Petition. Under the Consumer Protection Act, the consumer fora are required to decide the case within a period of 90 days from the date of filing, in case, no evidence is required to be taken and within 150 days, wherever evidence is required to be taken. Delay of 424 days cannot be condoned without sufficient cause being shown. In the application for condonation of delay, it has been stated that the petitioner received the order passed by the State Commission after about a month and thereafter the file was moving from table to table to get the permission to file the Revision Petition. We are not satisfied with the cause shown. Application for condonation of delay is dismissed. Consequently, the Revision Petition is dismissed as barred by limitation.
