C.M.Appl.No.375 of 2008 is an application to condone the delay of 1968 days in filing the review petition. A review petition cannot be equated to a petition for re-hearing of the matter or an appeal. All the contentions raised were considered in the judgment and we see no ground to review the judgment. Apart from the above, no satisfactory reasons are stated to condone the long delay of 1968 days in filing the review petition. Hence, the delay condonation petition is dismissed. Consequently, the review petition is also dismissed. J.B.KOSHY JUDGE K.P.BALACHANDRAN JUDGE tks
