Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in dismissing the revision petition on the grounds of a 36-day delay without adequately considering the reasons provided for condonation of delay. The Court established that sufficient cause was shown for the delay, thus necessitating the High Court to hear the matter on its merits. The impugned order was set aside, and the case was remitted back to the High Court for a decision in accordance with law.
