MALOJIRAO NARASINGHRAO SHITOLE vs THE STATE OF MADHYA PRADESH

The Supreme Court ruled that Section 29 of the Madhya Bharat Abolition of Jagirs Act, 1951 mandates appeals to the Board of Revenue within 90 days, but does not explicitly exclude time for obtaining copies or condone delays. The Court held that Sections 34 and 149(2) of the Ryotwari Land Revenue and Tenancy Act provide for the extension and computation of limitation periods, thus allowing for the appeal to be considered despite the delay. The High Court's dismissal of the appeal as time-barred was overturned, affirming that the principles of the Limitation Act apply to the case.
