RAMJI PANDEY vs SWARAN KALI

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of jurisdiction in appeals under the Limitation Act, specifically Sections 5 and 14. The Court held that the appellants' reliance on incorrect legal advice did not constitute sufficient grounds for condonation of delay, as they failed to demonstrate good faith and due diligence. Consequently, the Court upheld the High Court's decision to quash the order of the Additional District Judge, thereby affirming the dismissal of the appellants' application for condonation of delay.
