             Dated this the 5th day of October, 2007.

                              O R D E R

This is a petition to condone the delay of 100 days in filing

the review petition. Admittedly, the review petition ought to

have been filed on or before 03.04.2006.

2. It is stated in the affidavit that Annexure A2 produced

along with the review petition had to be got corrected showing

that the discharge is under Army Rule 13(3)III (iv) which has

been received only in April 2006. Thus, admittedly, the review

petition is sought to be filed based on a document – a vital

document according to the review petitioners, obtained after the

judgment. That subsequent event is not a ground for review.

It is for the review petitioners, if so advised, to pursue their

grievance in a properly constituted appeal. Without prejudice to

such liberty, the delay petition is dismissed. Consequently, the

review petition also is dismissed.

KURIAN JOSEPH, JUDGE.
