In Brief
The Supreme Court dismissed Special Leave Petitions challenging an order dated 5 September 2008, filed with a delay of 176 days. The petitioners also failed to file proof of service to the caveator even after refiling, demonstrating continued inaction spanning 2630 days. The Court held that such gross negligence in procedural compliance—combined with a casual disregard for the Court's requirements—provided no basis to condone the delay. Consequently, the petitions were dismissed on grounds of delay and non-prosecution.
