Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the National Commission's decision to dismiss a complaint filed after a delay of over 12 years, citing that the complaint was barred by limitation as per the applicable laws. The Court noted that the Commission had jurisdiction to consider both the complaint and the application for condonation of delay, and provided sufficient reasons for its decision. The appeal was dismissed without any order as to costs, affirming the Commission's findings on the matter of limitation.
