RAM GOPAL vs THE JOINT SECRETARY DEVELOPMENT AND PANCHAYAT DEPARTMENT AND ANR

Bench: 3 — Uday Umesh Lalit, L. Nageswara Rao, Vineet Saran

In Brief

Ram Gopal filed a Review Petition before the Supreme Court after a delay of over six years (2,323 days). The petitioner sought condonation of this extraordinary delay but failed to provide a satisfactory explanation. The Supreme Court found the explanation inadequate and rejected the application to condone delay. Consequently, the Review Petition was dismissed without consideration of its merits based solely on the procedural defect of excessive delay.
