Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision in K. Venkaiah and Others v. K. Venkateswara Rao & Another, A.I.R. 1978 A.P. 166, affirming that Section 5 of the Limitation Act, 1963 does not apply to appeals or revisions before the Collector under the Andhra Pradesh Tenancy Act. The Court clarified that Section 93 of the Act only pertains to the computation of limitation periods and does not confer the power to extend limitation periods. The appeal was dismissed, reinforcing the original provisions of Section 93 as enacted prior to the 1979 amendment.
