Versus
C.Baluchamy – Respondent
W.M.P.(MD)No.6517 of 2025 | REV.APLW(MD)SR.No.25587 of 2025



Advocates:
For the Appellants/Petitioners: Mr.S.C.Herold Singh
For the Respondent: Mr.S.Govindan

Delay in filing review application can be dismissed if found to be intended to prolong proceedings.

Headnote:The review application seeks to condone a delay of 350 days under Section 5 of the Limitation Act, 1963. The court notes that the Writ Appeal had been dismissed as withdrawn on 23.07.2024, and the significant delay appears to be a tactic to prolong proceedings, preventing the respondent from benefiting from the court's prior order. The court, therefore, dismissed the condone delay petition and rejected the Review Application in its preliminary state on 20.08.2025.

ORDER

The Writ Appeal was dismissed as withdrawn dated 23.07.2024.

Thereafter, they have preferred a review with a delay of 350 days, from the date of dismissal of the writ appeal. Only to protract the proceedings and prevent the petitioner from enjoying the fruits of the order of this Court, this Review Application is filled with a huge delay of nearly one year.

2. Hence, the condone delay petition is dismissed. Accordingly, the Review Application is rejected in SR state itself.
