2019 (6) TMI 952 - HC - Central ExciseJurisdiction - Scope of judicial review - HELD THAT:- At the highest, as the ground raised, may have warranted some examination the exercise of appellate jurisdiction, but not in exercise of powers of judicial review. In this case, the petitioner, delayed the institution of appeal and therefore, cannot expect that the this Court converts itself into an appeal court whilst exercising powers of judicial review under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. The contention as raised would require reevaluation and re-appreciation of factual position. Such an exercise cannot be undertaken in the exercise of limited jurisdiction of judicial review. The impugned order was made on 10th March 2016. Even the final order by the Tribunal was made on 21st November 2017. This petition was however, instituted only on 29th September 2018. There is absolutely no explanation for inordinate delay in the institution of the petition - petition dismissed.
