Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision allowing various petitions under the CPC, including those for bringing legal representatives on record (Order 22 Rule 4), restoring a dismissed appeal (Order 9 Rule 9), and condoning a significant delay in filing (Section 5 of the Limitation Act). The Court emphasized the importance of ensuring that justice is served by allowing parties to pursue their claims despite procedural setbacks. The outcome affirmed the High Court's orders, thereby facilitating the continuation of the legal proceedings concerning the property dispute.
