Headnote:
Condonation of Delay - Review Petition - The court rejected the application for condonation of delay and consequently rejected the Review Petition.

The Review Petition was delayed by 2323 days, and the court examined the application seeking condonation of delay, which was found unsatisfactory.
Finding of the Court:
The court rejected the Review Petition on the ground of delay.
Issues: Delay in preferring the Review Petition.
Ratio Decidendi: The unsatisfactory explanation for the delay led to the rejection of the application for condonation of delay and subsequently the Review Petition.
Final Decision: The Review Petition stands rejected due to the delay.
ORDER :
1. There is delay of 2323 days in preferring the instant Review Petition. We have gone through the contents of the application seeking condonation of delay. The explanation offered is far from being satisfactory. The application for condonation of delay is, therefore, rejected.
