This revision petition is filed against the concurrent finding passed against this petitioner by both the Courts. The reasons assigned in the affidavit filed in support of the application to condone the delay in filing the petition that due to inconvenience caused to the petitioner and he was suffering from jaundice and taken native treatment and also due to pandemic COVID-19, he could not filed the revision petition in time. 3. Having perused the impugned order of Crl.A.No.6/2017, it discloses that the said appeal was - 3 - NC: 2025:KHC:4304 CRL.RP No. 1280 of 2023 disposed of on 13.03.2018. But the fact that from 2018 to 2020 i.e., till pandemic COVID-19, no reasons are assigned for not filing this revision petition. Even though stated that the petitioner caused inconvenience that he was suffering from jaundice, from 2020 onwards also no reasons are assigned for not filing the revision petition in time since SOP for COVID-19 was for a limited period and thereafter also not filed the petition and this revision petition is filed only in the month of September, 2023. When such reasons are assigned in the application and the same are not satisfactory, the question of issuance of notice also does not arise in view of inordinate delay in filing the petition. Hence, I.A.No.1/2023 is dismissed, consequently, the revision petition is also dismissed. Sd/- (H.P.SANDESH) JUDGE SN
