       CORAM:
       HON'BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE
       HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE DHIRAJ SINGH THAKUR, JUDGE


                                      ORDER

1. The case has been called out but none has appeared for either of the

parties. Therefore, the matter deserves to be dismissed for want of prosecution.

We have otherwise considered the matter on merits and find that it relates to

the review petition which has been filed with delay.

2. The review application has been filed with the delay of more than

400 days. We have considered the application for condoning the delay in filing

the review application. The aforesaid application simply states that after the

pronouncement of the judgment sought to be reviewed, the petitioner was

mentally disturbed and as such could not seek advice in time to file the review

application. The explanation falls short of his stating as to the time period in

which the petitioner had remained mentally disturbed or as to at what point of

time he took legal advice for the purposes of filing the present review

application. The application for condoning the delay has been filed most

casually in a slipshod manner without giving any adequate and appropriate

reason.

3. Accordingly we do not deem it necessary to condone the delay in

filing the review application. Delay Condonation application No.30/2016 is

rejected and consequently review petition No. 23/2021 is dismissed as barred

by time.
