Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of a complaint by the Redressal Commission on the grounds of limitation, as the complaint was filed on 26th August 1996, well beyond the permissible period following the last claim on 16th May 1994. The Court noted that the appellant's incarceration from 5th June 1994 to 4th February 1995 did not constitute sufficient cause for the delay, especially since the Commission had requested evidence to explain the delay, which was not provided. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the Commission's decision.
