Delay of over two years proves fatal: Court dismisses 83-year-old senior citizen’s revision petition against Punjab power utility

An 83-year-old petitioner’s plea to condone a significant delay in filing a revision petition regarding an electricity meter placement dispute was dismissed by the National Consumer Commission. The court deemed the reasons for the 679-707 day delay unconvincing, finding no errors in the lower forums’ orders. The petition was rejected at the admission stage for being time-barred and lacking merit.
