2019 (7) TMI 203 - HC - Central ExciseCondonation of delay in filing appeal - power of Appellate Authority to condone delay - Jurisdiction - HELD THAT:- The contentions raised do not fall within the scope of judicial review as explained. At the highest, the contentions 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. There is absolutely no explanation for inordinate delay in the institution of the petition - petition dismissed.
