India House vs Kishan N. Lalwani

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to condone the delay in filing civil revisions under Section 25 of the Tamil Nadu Buildings (Lease and Rent) Control Act, 1960, ruling that the time taken to obtain a certified copy of the order was to be excluded from the limitation period as per Section 12(2) of the Limitation Act, 1963. The Court clarified that the revisions were filed within the permissible time frame after excluding the delay, thus affirming the High Court's discretion in allowing the application. The outcome favored the respondent, allowing the revisions to proceed despite the initial delay.
