In Brief
Prabhat Chandra Das filed a Review Petition challenging dismissal of his Special Leave Petition (SLP), which had itself been dismissed due to inordinate delay of 1213 days. The Review Petition itself was filed with a delay of 987 days. The Supreme Court found the explanation for delay to be unsatisfactory and refused to condone it. Consequently, the Review Petition was dismissed on grounds of delay, upholding the principle that procedural timelines must be respected unless adequately explained.
