Holding
The Court held that the delay of 937 days could not be condoned and therefore dismissed the criminal revision.
Summary
The revisionist, Babu alias Babu Khan, filed a criminal revision (No. 2496 of 2025) challenging a decision of the trial court. The revision was filed 937 days after the cause of action arose. The revisionist sought condonation of the delay, submitting an affidavit with reasons for the delay. The Court, after examining the affidavit, found the reasons insufficient and held that the delay was inordinate. Consequently, the Court dismissed the delay‑condonation application and, on that basis, dismissed the criminal revision itself. The order was pronounced on 11 May 2026 by Justice Achal Sachdev.

- Whether the delay of 937 days in filing the criminal revision can be condoned.
- Whether the criminal revision should be dismissed on the ground of delay.
