Collector, Hooghly & Ors vs Nirmal Sarkar (D) By Lrs. & Ors

The Supreme Court held that the Calcutta High Court erred in refusing to condone the delay in filing a review application and an appeal, which was dismissed on the grounds of limitation. The Court found that the High Court's earlier dismissal lacked justification, as it did not consider the merits of the case. Consequently, the appeal was allowed, the impugned orders were set aside, and the delay was condoned, restoring the appeal for a hearing on merits as per law.
