mfi document solutions ltd vs binu bharathan leelama 2022 tzhcld 211 22 april 2022

The applicant failed to account for the inordinate delay of four years in filing the application for revision. Mere pleading of illegality is insufficient unless it is apparent on the face of the record. The applicant did not demonstrate sufficient cause for the delay, nor did the alleged illegality meet the threshold to warrant extension of time.
