SUBPRINDER KAUR Vs. STATE OF PUNJAB

JUDGEMENT

(1.) PRAYER in this application is for review of the order dated 29.05.2013. Prior to entertaining the present application, there is first hurdle which the applicant -State is to face, which is an inordinate delay of 254 days in filing the present review application. The only explanation put forth in the application is mentioned in Paras No. 2 and 3 of the same, which reads as follows: -

(2.) THAT the issue came of light when certain connected matters were filed in December 2013, challenging the appointment of the petitioners. On perusal of the record, it transpired that owning to some miss communication the matter had been dismissed as infructuous without any adjudication on merits, immediately thereafter the matter was examined and defense sanction was sought for filing review after seeking approval and opinion of the competent authority. Hence the delay occurred on account of these procedural aspect as well as in examination of the records.
