Judgment 1. This Writ Petition is filed seeking to challenge the order passed by the respondent whereby the revision filed by the petitioner was rejected on the ground that the same was filed after a period of 6182 days. 2. Heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and perused the materials placed before this Court. 3. The petitioner was dismissed from service by an order dated 28.08.1997. The petitioner raised an industrial dispute in I.D.No.3 of 1998. However, the petitioner had chosen to withdraw the said I.D.No.3 of 1998, after a period of ten years. i.e. on 05.09.2008. Thereafter, the petitioner filed a review petition dated 05.11.2014 before the respondent herein challenging the order of dismissal dated 28.08.1997, also by seeking to condone the delay in preferring the review petition. 4. A perusal of the affidavit filed before the respondent would show that the petitioner has not stated the reasons cogently seeking to condone the enormous delay of 6182 days. The only reason stated is that his wife was unwell and that he was attending the criminal cases before the Court concerned. 5. In my considered view, the very reason stated by the petitioner would show that there is no bona fide on his part seeking to condone the delay. Admittedly, he engaged himself in attending the criminal proceedings before the Criminal Court. Therefore, he was not at all incapacitated in making a revision immediately after withdrawing the industrial dispute. Likewise, the other reason that his wife was unwell also cannot be reason to condone the delay of 6182 days. This reason also appears to be without any bona fide. The explanation given by the petitioner is totally unacceptable and therefore, the enormous delay of six years has rightly not been condoned by the revisional authority with which this Court is not inclined to interfere. 6. Thus, I find no merits in the Writ Petition and the same is liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, this Writ Petition stands dismissed. No costs.
