Having considered the reasons assigned in the present petition seeking condonation of delay and having heard the learned counsel for the parties, this Court is satisfied that the petitioner was prevented by sufficient causes from preferring the application within time.

In view of the above, the delay of eleven months and three days, in preferring the review application, is hereby condoned. I.A. No.2401 of 2015 stands disposed of.

Civil Review No.50 of 2015 Heard Mr. Bal Bhushan Chaudhary, learned Counsel, appearing on behalf of the petitioner, and Mahboob Ashraf, learned Assistant Counsel to learned Standing Counsel-27, appearing on behalf of the State respondents.

By the order, dated 10.02.2014, passed in L.P.A. No.365 of 2005, while dismissing the appeal, the Court observed and held as follows:

"This Appeal under clause 10 of the Letters Patent has been preferred by the respondent nos.4 and 5 in CWJC No.633 of 2002. The respondent no.4-appellant no.1 has filed the Appeal under his name. He also claims to be

Patna High Court C. REV. No.50 of 2015 dt.23-09-2015 3/3 the constituted attorney of the appellant no.2 Sahodri Devi. Neither the appellant no.1 produced power of attorney; nor did he disclose that the said Sahodri Devi had died pending the writ petition, a year before the date of filing of Appeal. Although the Appeal was filed by two persons, the appellant no.1 withdrew the same on 5th January, 2007. Again he got it restored under MJC No.448 of 2012. The MJC was filed by the appellant no.1 alone. Neither the appellant no.2 was made party to the MJC; nor the factum of her death was disclosed to the Court.

In our opinion, the appellant no.1 has not approached this Court with clean hands. Appeal is dismissed on this ground alone.

Interlocutory Applications are disposed of."

We do not find that the petitioner has been able to make out any case warranting review of the order, dated 10.02.2014.

In view of the above and in the interest of justice, review petition stands dismissed.

There shall be no order as to costs.
