DATED:-19/12/2006 P.C.:- Heard learned counsel for the parties. There is 322 day’s delay in filing the present review petition. In my opinion no acceptable reasons are given for condoning the delay. The learned counsel for the petitioner has relied on the judgment of the Supreme Court in N. Balakrishnan v. M. Krishnamurthy, (1998) 7 SCC 123. There can be no doubt that if the explanation offered MSS : 2 : by the parties is found satisfactory, the court in exercise of its discretion and in the interest of justice must condone the delay. In the facts of this case, however, I am of the opinion that the explanation is not satisfactory. Hence delay does not deserve to be condoned. Application is rejected. JUDGE.
