Heard Counsel for the parties. 2. Delay in filing the present application is ascertained as 7 years and 110 days. The only explanation offered in paragraph-9 of the Application is that after the matter before the Supreme Court was finally disposed of, papers were received by the present applicant. Whereafter they decided to file subject review application. There is no explanation as to why review petition was not filed immediately after the order was passed. Instead, the applicant had chosen to challenge the order by way of Letters Patent Appeal. Assuming that the Applicants have 2 taken over erstwhile bank in the year 2006, no explanation is forthcoming as to what prevented the applicant to file present application soon after 2006. Suffice it to observe that the Application, as filed does not make out any cause much less sufficient cause for condoning delay of over 7 years and 110 days. Hence, the application is rejected.
