SC asks HCs not to keep review pleas pending for long

The Supreme Court has asked all high courts not to keep the applications seeking review of any order pending for long, as it delays matters in every court. The court's observation came as it was dealing with a matter in which the Kerala High Court had kept a review plea pending for almost four years. <br/><br/>The apex court said, the review plea should be disposed of as expeditiously as possible and it is the duty of the high court registry to place the matter before the concerned judge so that the application can be promptly dealt with.<br/><br/>The apex court said a reasonable period can be spent for disposal of the review, but definitely not four years.<br/>
