Cr.M.P.(M) 457 of 2008. 21.7.2008 Present: Mr. Sanjay Dutt Vasudeva, counsel for the petitioner. Mr. R.K.Gautam, Sr. Advocate, with Ms. Radhika Gautam, counsel for the respondent. I have heard learned counsel for the parties. The petitioner assails the order of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Dehra in Criminal Complaint No. 357-1 of 2004 discharging the accused. This order was passed on 2.11.2005. The petitioner herein has challenged the order on various grounds. The revision petition is barred by two years and thirteen days. The reason given for the delay was that the petitioner was medically unfit to travel. He has filed a medical certificate showing that the petitioner was fit to resume his duty as driver with effect from 5th August, 2002. However, he was required to avoid driving long distances and also to avoid excessive jerks, lifting weights and bending etc. From 2002 till 2008, there is nothing on record to show that the condition of the petitioner deteriorated to such an extent that he was unable to perform his duties as a driver. Having been certified fit to travel in 2002 itself, the only precaution to be taken was that the petitioner should not subject himself to excessive strain of lifting -2- weights, bending and jerks etc. There is nothing on record to show that travel up to Shimla would involve all these hazards or that he was in such a condition that he is unable to move about. Moreover, he is actively performing the duties of a driver and the record does not suggest that he is unable to do so. I find that the petitioner has not approached this Court with clean hands, but has made vague, general and sweeping allegations which cannot be accepted as sufficient cause to condone delay. This application is accordingly dismissed. Cr. Rev. 76 of 2008. In view of the dismissal of Cr.M.P.(M) 457 of 2008, being application for condonation of delay, this revision petition is also dismissed. Pending application(s) shall stand dismissed.
