Appeal was taken up for hearing and disposed of under the Scheme of Mega Lok Adalat Samadhan 2008 and sentence awarded to the accused was reduced for the period already undergone, however, fine imposed by the trial Court was directed to be maintained. Now, complainant has invoked revisional jurisdiction of this Court, challenging the reduction of the sentence to the period already undergone. Present revision is filed with the delay of 183 days. The only ground taken in the application seeking condonation of delay is that the petitioner is a poor person and does not know the law of limitation and hence, could not file revision within time. Ground taken in the application for condonation of delay does not inspire any confidence. Ignorance of law is no ground to condone the delay. In view of the above, application seeking condonation of delay is dismissed and consequently, revision is also dismissed, being time barred. ( Alok Singh ) Judge 23.02.2011 sk.
