Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court set aside the decision of the High Court which dismissed the petition for condonation of delay in filing a writ appeal, holding that the appeal was barred by limitation. The Court emphasized the importance of adhering to statutory timelines for filing appeals and the necessity of providing sufficient reasons for any delay. The dismissal of the appeal by the High Court was upheld, reinforcing the principle that procedural compliance is crucial in judicial proceedings.
