As I have already replied to you in Time limitation for review petitions in Supreme Court and High Court, it may not be possible to file a review petition after a delay of 4-5 years. Even if you file such review petition along with an application for condonation of delay, it is likely to be rejected. Moreover, you will have to explain as to why there is such a huge delay of 4-5 years, when the limitation period was only 30 days.
Still if you have money to spare, and if you want to take a chance, you can try it. But, as I mentioned earlier, there is hardly any chance of success. On the other hand, sometimes, the court may impose costs for such a matter. In fact, the chance of success even in a timely review petition is itself very limited, and in your case there a huge delay also. But, it is up to you if you want to spend money by taking a chance with very little probability of success. You may contact some good lawyer and get it done.
Once the Supreme Court has rejected the SLP, the only possibilities are review petition and curative petition. However, curative petition is filed after the rejection of the review petition and the chances of success in curative petition are further less. Since there is no review petition from you till date, you cannot file a curative petition at this stage.
There is no other remedy in such a situation when the SLP was dismissed 4-5 years back.
