Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the Kerala High Court's order regarding the redemption of a usufructuary mortgage under the Transfer of Property Act. The Court held that the delay in depositing the redemption amount could be condoned under Section 5 of the Limitation Act, provided sufficient cause is shown. The Court ultimately upheld the High Court's decision to allow the condonation of delay, emphasizing the need for justice over strict adherence to procedural timelines.
