State Of Rajasthan & Anr vs Bal Kishan Mathur(D) Tr.Lrs.& Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of delay in filing D.B. Special Appeal Writ No.02033 of 2007 under the Rajasthan Public Premises (Eviction of Unauthorized Occupants) Act, 1964. The Court held that the Division Bench of the Rajasthan High Court erred in not condoning a delay of six days, emphasizing that such a minor delay should not prevent the hearing of the appeal on merits. The Court also noted that the jurisdiction exercised by the learned Single Judge under Article 227 was not subject to appeal, thus clarifying the maintainability of the appeal.
