Raghu Forwarding Agency And Anr. vs Union Of India (Uoi) Ors.

The Supreme Court held that the appeal against the order dated 7th December, 2000 dismissing the review application was within the limitation period as per Section 12(2) of the Limitation Act, allowing for the exclusion of time taken to obtain a certified copy. The Court found that the High Court erred in dismissing the appeal on the grounds of delay without considering that the appeal was also against the review order. The Court allowed the appeal, emphasizing that a more lenient approach to limitation should have been adopted to enable the appeals to be heard on merits.
