1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY, NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR C.A. No.1919 of 2004 in MCA (Review) St. No.4946 of 2004 in W.P. No.2800 of 2003 (Decided) -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Office Notes, Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders or directions : Court's or Judge's orders and Registrar's orders. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- CORAM : D.D.Sinha, J. DATE : January 19, 2007. Heard Mr.M.P.Khajanchi, Counsel for the Applicants. Civil Application No.1919 of 2004 is for condonation of delay in filing the review application. In the instant case, there is delay of 157 days in filing the review application. The main reason given for the delay in filing the Civil Application is that the applicant nos. 1 and 2 are cultivators and the applicant nos. 3 and 5 are students and they were ignorant of law and the proceedings in the Court as well as unaware of the technicalities and formalities prescribed in law and therefore, there is delay caused in filing the Civil Application for review. In the instant case, the applicants were represented by the lawyer in the Writ Petition which was dismissed on 22.8.2003. It is, therefore, apparent that this is not a case 2 where the applicants were not represented before this Court and therefore, were unaware about the result of the Writ Petition. Even otherwise, ignorance of law is no excuse. In the circumstances, the reasons mentioned in the Civil Application, in my view, are inadequate to condone the delay of 157 days in filing the review application. Hence, the application for condonation of delay in filing the application for review is dismissed. Consequently, the review application is also dismissed as barred by limitation. JUDGE ssj
