State Of Kerala & Ors.Etc vs M.G.Presanna Etc

The Supreme Court held that the delay of 305 days in filing a review petition should be considered when assessing the delay in filing a writ appeal. The Court found that the Division Bench of the Kerala High Court erred in not treating the period spent on the review petition as satisfactorily explained. Consequently, the Court allowed the appeals, set aside the Division Bench's order, and restored the writ appeal for consideration on merits, condoning the delay in filing the appeal.
