Poonam & Ors vs Harish Kumar & Anr

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the High Court, affirming the District Judge's dismissal of the appellants' application for condonation of delay under Section 5 of the Limitation Act, 1963. The Court found that the appellants failed to demonstrate a bona fide reason for the 63-day delay in filing their appeal, as their claims of illiteracy and reliance on counsel were deemed insufficient. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, reinforcing the importance of timely legal action in civil proceedings.
