IN THE HIGH COURT OF BOMBAY AT GOA MISC.CIVIL APPLICATION NO. 475 OF 2011 IN WRIT PETITION NO. 279 OF 2002 SHRI VIVEK E.RODRIGUES ... Applicant Versus GOVT. OF GOA AND ORS., ... Respondents Applicant in person present. Shri S. Vahidulla, Government Advocate for Respondent Nos.1 to 3. Coram:- S.A. BOBDE & F. M. REIS, JJ. Date:- 11th July, 2011 P.C.:- This is an application for condonation of delay of a period of about five years in preparing this review application. The Judgment in the Applicant's case in Writ Petition No.279 of 2002 was pronounced by this Court on 5-6-2006 holding that the petitioners are not entitled to any relief of fixation in another pay scale on the ground of gross unexplained delay and laches apart from the merits. According to the Applicant, he realized sometime in March, 2011 that some other person received documents from the RTI that the Respondents wrongly argued before this Court that the decision about the Applicant's scale was erroneous. According to the Applicant, the documents reveal that the decision was not an error but was given after due deliberations. Further, according to the Applicant, there is sufficient cause for condonation of delay because the Applicant was not aware of the so-called fraud. We are not inclined to accept this contention. It is not open for a party to accept the Judgment of this Court and then, after five years, apply for review on the fortuitous circumstance that someone else applies under RTI and discovers some documents and which allege a so-called fraud. In this case, we might observe that prima facie there does not appear to be a fraud as alleged by the Applicant since according to the Applicant the Respondents' contention was that the decision arose due to an error and in fact, it was after due deliberations. There is thus no merit in this application for condonation of delay which is hereby dismissed. S.A. BOBDE, J. F. M. REIS, J. RD.
