Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the delay of 53 days in filing the second appeal should be condoned, emphasizing the appellants' poverty and lack of legal knowledge. The Court set aside the High Court's order dismissing the appeal and remitted the case for a fresh decision on merits. The Court directed the High Court to expedite the hearing of the second appeal, which has been pending since 2006.
