Hanjura, J. while dealing with an application for condonation of delay in filing a review petition, dismissed both the application as well as the petition on grounds of inordinate delay in filing the same.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Brief facts of the case are that in a writ petition filed by the petitioners, the Hon\u2019ble Court made an observation with regards to engagement of 130 casual workers on the basis of an order dated 02-04-2012 and directed that the engagement of the petitioners also be considered. The instant review petition was filed for recalling the aforesaid order stating that since there was no order vide which 130 casual workers had been employed, therefore the question of providing similar treatment to the petitioners did not arise. The reason given for delay in filing the review petition was that as soon as the aforesaid anomaly came to the notice of petitioners, they sought advice from a senior counsel which led to a delay in filing the review petition and that the said delay was not intentional.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The\u00a0 High court observed that the law of limitation has to be enforced with all its rigor and vigor. Section 5 of the J&amp;K Limitation Act Samvat, 1995 stipulates that the applicant has to satisfy the court of sufficient cause for not preferring the application\/ appeal\/ review within the time period as prescribed in the statute.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Relying on the judgment of the Apex Court in <em>Union of India v Nripen Sarma, <\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/UCMy8obT\">(2013) 4 SCC 57<\/a>\u00a0and <em>Esha Bhattacharjee v. Managing Committee of Raghunathpur Nafar Academy<\/em>,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/XF6oy3Vk\">(2013) 12 SCC 649 <\/a>the court noted that there was a reckless delay of 1230 days in filing the review petition and the sequence of the events which prompted the petitioners to file the review petition after a long delay of more than three years had not been accounted. Further, the court also relied on the judgment in <em>Northern India<\/em><em> Caterers v Lt. Governor Delhi, <\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/8wLqS41s\">(1980) 2 SCC 167\u00a0<\/a>and observed that the scope of a review petition is limited to dealing with an error apparent on the face of the record and it cannot be used as a forum to re-argue the matter.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On the aforesaid holdings, the court dismissed the petitioner\u2019s application for condonation of delay and also dismissed the review petition.
