MISCELLANEOUS APPLICATON NO. 574/2010 (for restoration)

          For the reasons stated in the application, we recall our order dated 14.5.2010 dismissing the Revision Petition for non-prosecution.  Revision Petition to its original number and is taken up for preliminary hearing.

          This Revision Petition has been filed along with application for condonation of delay to condone the delay of 134 days in filing the Revision Petition, which is over and above the period of 90 days statutorily given to file the Revision Petition.  Under the Consumer Protection Act, the consumer fora are required to decide the cases in summary manner within a time frame, i.e., within 90 days from the date of filing, in case, no expert evidence is required to be taken, and, within 150 days, wherever expert evidence is required to be taken.  Delay of 134 days cannot be condoned without sufficient cause being shown.  The only reason given for condonation of delay is that the file was moving from table to table.  We are not satisfied with the cause shown.  Application for condonation of delay is dismissed.   Consequently, the Revision Petition is dismissed as barred by limitation.
