Annapareddy Aireddy vs Bolla Subba Reddy & Ors

The Supreme Court held that the First Appellate Court erred in refusing to condone a delay of ninety-two days in filing an appeal under Section 5 of the Limitation Act. The Court found that the High Court also committed an error in confirming this refusal. Consequently, the appeal was allowed, the impugned orders were set aside, and the matter was remitted to the First Appellate Court for a decision on merits after providing an opportunity for hearing to the parties.
