Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the High Court which affirmed 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 against the trial court's dismissal of their suit for declaration of title and permanent injunction. The Court emphasized the necessity of providing sufficient grounds for condonation of delay, ultimately dismissing the appeal.
