STATE OF U.P.THR.EXE.ENGINEER vs AMAR NATH YADAV

The Supreme Court dismissed the Special Leave Petition (SLP) filed by the State of U.P. due to a delay of 481 days in filing, finding the explanation provided by the petitioner insufficient. The Court emphasized that government departments must adhere to the law of limitation and cannot claim special treatment without a reasonable explanation. Citing the precedent in State of U.P. & Ors. vs. Hanuman, the Court held that the absence of a cogent reason for the delay warranted dismissal of the petition.
