The impugned order challenged is dated 06.10.2009 passed in Crl. Misc. Petition No.184/2009, wherein compensation of Rs.5,000/- is awarded to the wife under Section 19 of the D.V. Act, an amount of Rs.5,000/- is awarded under Section 20 of the D.V. Act, an amount of Rs.3,000/- is awarded to the daughter and an amount of Rs.10,00,000/- as compensation is awarded under Section 22 of the D.V. Act and also awarded Rs.1,000/- as litigation expenses and allowed the application under Section 12 preventing him from committing any domestic violence. 3. The said order passed in Crl. Misc. Petition No.184/2009 is challenged before the Appellate Court in Crl.A.No.57/2015 and the same was dismissed on 27.01.2016 observing that there is no representation for the appellant and steps not taken, inspite of sufficient opportunity is given and dismissed the appeal for default. 4. The present revision petition is filed in 2024, though the petition was dismissed in 2016 and the reasons assigned in the affidavit of the petitioner is that his family members and well-wishers made effort to reunion of both of them, including - 4 - NC: 2025:KHC:5359 CRL.RP No. 285 of 2024 his minor daughter, but the respondent did not agree and continued to reside with her parents and during Covid-19, her mother passed away on 25.05.2021 and his father also fell ill with stroke and was suffering from cardiac attack and he was also under treatment and he was taking care of his father. Though affidavit is filed in support of the application to condone inordinate delay, no satisfactory reasons are assigned for the delay from 2016 to 2024, except narrating the ill-health of his father and attempt to reunite both the husband and wife. Hence, I do not find any ground to condone the delay or issue notice to the respondents. Though, notice was issued to the respondents earlier, having considered the affidavit, no satisfactory reasons are assigned even for service of notice to the respondents. Therefore, I do not find any ground to issue notice to the respondents and there is an inordinate delay of 2,232 days delay in filing the revision petition. Though the criminal appeal was dismissed in 2016, this criminal revision petition is filed in 2024 and no satisfactory reasons are assigned and nothing is averred in the affidavit for the delay from 2016 to 2024. - 5 - NC: 2025:KHC:5359 CRL.RP No. 285 of 2024 Accordingly, I.A.No.1/2024 is rejected. Consequently, the criminal revision petition is dismissed. Sd/- (H.P.SANDESH) JUDGE ST List No.: 1 Sl No.: 20
