STATE OF UTTAR PRADESH vs MAHARAJ NARAIN AND OTHERS

The Supreme Court clarified the interpretation of 'time requisite' under Section 12(2) of the Limitation Act, 1908, stating that it refers to the actual time taken to obtain a copy of the order appealed from, rather than a minimum time. The Court held that the appellant is entitled to deduct the entire time taken for obtaining the copy from the limitation period, thus overruling the High Court's dismissal of the appeal as time-barred. The judgment emphasized that the appellant is not obligated to apply promptly for a copy.
