Supreme Court Dismisses Taxak Review, 489-Day Delay

Authority: Supreme Court of India

Order Date: 12 August 2026

Case Overview

• Petitioner: Surinder Singh Taxak filed Review Petition (C) No. of 2026 (Diary No. 32394/2026) challenging the final judgment and order dated 19‑12‑2024 in SLP(C) No. 12109/2022.
• Respondents: The Punjab State Civil Supplies Corporation Limited (PUNSUP) and others.
• The review petition was filed 489 days after the original order, prompting an application for condonation of delay (IA No. 166997/2026).
• The Court, comprising Justice Pamidighantam Sri Narasimha and Justice Manoj Misra, examined the petition and the condonation application.

Final Outcome

• The Court dismissed the Review Petition on two grounds: (i) the 489‑day delay was not sufficiently justified, and (ii) no apparent error was found in the record, with no case for review under Order XLVII Rule 1 of the Supreme Court Rules 2013.
• The order also directed that any pending applications, if any, stand disposed of.
