Holding
The court held that the delay condonation application was not justified and therefore the review petition must be dismissed.
Summary
The petitioners, Chhiddu Singh and others, filed a review application challenging a 2001 order of the Allahabad High Court. They sought condonation of delay for filing the review, but the affidavit provided did not sufficiently explain the lapse. The court found the cause shown inadequate and rejected the delay condonation application. Consequently, the review petition itself was also dismissed. The judgment was delivered by Justice Manish Kumar Nigam on April 20, 2026.

- Whether the delay in filing the review petition can be condoned
- Whether the review petition should be entertained after rejection of the condonation application
