Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court should exercise caution in interfering with discretionary orders that allow a party to pursue a statutory remedy, particularly under Section 5 of the Limitation Act. The Court found that the appellant had provided sufficient causes for the delay in filing the appeal, which the appellate authority had considered in its discretion. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's judgment, allowing the appellant's appeal to be heard on its merits under Section 93 of the relevant Act.
