ANNAPAREDDY AIREDDY vs BOLLA SUBBA REDDY .

The Supreme Court held that the First Appellate Court erred in refusing to condone a delay of ninety-two days in filing the appeal under Section 5 of the Limitation Act. The Court emphasized the need for a liberal approach in condoning delays, particularly when no substantial prejudice would be caused to the other party. 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.
