1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY, NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR Civil Application No.3351 of 2007 In Misc. Civil Application St.No.4316 of 2007 In Writ Petition No.896 of 2006 (Deokishor s/o Shriram Gadpande v. The State of Maharashtra and others) -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-- 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 and A.P. Bhangale, JJ. DATE : 7th August, 2008 Heard Shri S.A. Gordey, learned counsel for the applicant/petitioner, and Shri A.G. Mujumdar, learned AGP for respondent No.1. Civil Application No.3351 of 2007 is moved by the applicant for condonation of delay in filing review petition. The office note shows that the delay in filing review petition is of 292 days. The learned counsel for the applicant submitted that because of the weak financial condition of the review petitioner, the review petition could not be prepared and filed within the stipulated period. It is no doubt true that normally the rights of the parties are required to be decided on the merits of the matter and should not be allowed to diminish only on the ground of procedural technicalities. However, in the instant case, the reasons mentioned in the application for 2 condonation of delay are hopelessly inadequate to condone the inordinate delay of 292 days and that too in respect of filing of review petition. Consequently, no case is made out for indulgence. Civil Application No.3351 of 2007 for condonation of delay in filing review petition is rejected. JUDGE JUDGE Lanjewar
