INTEREST OF JUSTICE AND EQUITY.

ORAL ORDER

(PER: HON'BLE MR. VIBHU BAKHRU, CHIEF JUSTICE)


1. The review petitioner has filed the present review petition
seeking review of the order dated 29.09.2022 passed in W.A.
No.1555/2016 (S-RES).
2. The review petition has been filed after an inordinate delay of
691 days. The review petitioner has also filed an application
seeking condonation of the said delay.
3. It is stated that the order, review of which is sought, was
placed before the State Government seeking appropriate
directions. On 16.08.2023, the State Government issued an order
extending the benefit of the Fifth Pay Commission to employees,
who had retied during the period from 01.04.2006 to 01.10.2010,

including those who had opted for retirement under the Voluntary
Retirement Scheme. Thus, the order, review of which was sought,
stood implemented. It is contended that the review petitioner,
therefore, did not seek review of the said order.
4. It is further stated that subsequently, certain other retired
employees also filed petitions seeking similar reliefs and in that
context, the Government found that the order passed in the
aforesaid writ appeal required reconsideration and directed the
review petitioner to take appropriate steps.
5. It is stated that, the State Government recorded the
proceedings on 23.12.2025, instructions were issued for filing the
review petition. It is apparent that the review petitioner was not
prevented by any sufficient cause from filing the review petition
within the prescribed period. On the other hand, material disclose
that the order, review of which is sought, was accepted and a
conscious decision was taken not to seek its review. In these facts,
we are unable to accept that there is sufficient cause to condone
the inordinate delay of 691 days.

dismissed.
