K.S. Muthu vs T. Govindarajulu And Anr.

The Supreme Court held that the trial court's refusal to permit the Appellant to deposit the balance of sale consideration on September 8, 1997, due to holidays was unjustified. The Court emphasized that a party should not be penalized for circumstances beyond their control, such as public holidays, which made it impossible to comply with the court's order. The Court set aside the High Court's order and directed that the amount deposited by the Appellant be treated as made in pursuance of the original decree, thereby allowing the appeal.
