ABDUL GHAFOOR vs STATE OF BIHAR

The Supreme Court held that in cases involving conviction and imprisonment, greater indulgence should be shown in applying the law of limitation. The Court found that the High Court mechanically dismissed the appellants' revision for delay without considering their circumstances, which warranted a more flexible approach. The Court set aside the High Court's order, emphasizing the importance of personal liberty and the need to examine the case on merits despite the delay in filing the revision.
