Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal concerning the dismissal of a complaint under Section 113 of the Companies Act, 1956, for delay in the transfer of shares. The Court noted that while the delay in filing the appeal was significant, it chose not to dismiss the appeal solely on that ground, emphasizing the need for reasonable expedition by government officers. The Court upheld the High Court's ruling that the appellant was incompetent to file the complaint, as the complaint was barred by limitation under Section 468 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, and thus affirmed the dismissal of the complaint.
