RAMA RAVALU GAVADE vs SATABA GAVADU GAVADE(DEAD)BY LRS

The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in refusing to condone the delay in filing the appeal due to the appellant's illiteracy and lack of proper legal advice. The Court emphasized that the counsel's failure to advise the appellant appropriately led to the delay, thus justifying the condonation. Consequently, the Court allowed the appeal, set aside the abatement, and directed the appellate Court to dispose of the appeal on merits within six months.
