Case Note & Summary
The case involved a review petition filed before the Supreme Court, which was accompanied by an application for oral hearing and an application seeking condonation of delay. The review petition was delayed by 337 days, and the applicant provided an explanation for this delay in the condonation application. The court considered the explanation but found it unsatisfactory. As a result, the court rejected the application for oral hearing and refused to condone the delay. Consequently, the review petition was dismissed on the ground of limitation, as the delay was not excused. The court's decision was based on procedural law principles related to limitation and the requirement for satisfactory explanations to condone delays in filing petitions. No detailed facts or arguments beyond the delay and explanation were presented in the judgment text, and the dismissal was solely due to the failure to meet the threshold for condonation of delay.
