JUSTICE K.R. MOHAPATRA

ORDER

Order No.

22.09.2022 RPFAM No.130 of 2022 & I.A. No.181 of 2022 01.

1.

This matter is taken up through hybrid mode.

2.

This is an application for condonation of delay of three hundred sixty-two days in filing the RPFAM.

3.

On perusal of the averments made in the application, it appears that although the Petitioner has explained the delay in filing the petition under Section 126 (2) Cr.P.C., but he has not explained the delay in filing the RPFAM after the impugned order was passed on 30th March, 2021. Although the impugned order was passed on 30th March, 2021, the RPFAM was filed on 26th June, 2022. The only ground taken by the Petitioner for condonation of delay is that the Petitioner is a poor, rustic, innocent villager and also ignorant about the law, for which reason he could not file the revision within the stipulated time. But the same cannot be a ground much less a good ground to condone the inordinate delay of three hundred sixty-two days in filing the RPFAM.

4.

Accordingly, this I.A. is dismissed. Consequently, the RPFAM stands dismissed.
