The Review Petition under Section 114 read with Order XLVII Rule 1 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 (in short, 'CPC'), has been filed by the review petitioner/respondent, seeking a review of the Judgment dated 21.08.2025 passed by this Court in the above Writ Petition.

6.

The learned counsel for the review petitioner/respondent submits that the writ petitioners had not raised the ground of delay either in their reply to the O.A. or in the pleadings before this Court. 7.

Placing reliance on the Judgments of the Supreme Court in V.K. Majotra v. Union of India & Ors., (2003) 8 SCC 40, and Hyder Consulting (UK) Ltd. v. Governor, State of Orissa, (2016) 6 SCC 362, he submits that this Court has erred in accepting the oral submissions made on behalf of the writ petitioners. 8.

We have considered the submissions made by the counsel for the review petitioner/respondent, however, we find no merit in the same.

9.

The delay on the part of the respondent in approaching the learned Tribunal was argued before this Court and has already been taken note of while allowing the writ petition. 10.

As this was a recruitment matter, the delay of the candidate in approaching the Court would have a relevant effect on the relief prayed for.

11.

We, therefore, see no reason to review our Judgment. The review petition is accordingly dismissed.
