BITHIKA MAZUMDAR vs SAGAR PAL .

The Supreme Court held that there is no prescribed limitation for filing a petition under Article 227 of the Constitution, and the High Court's dismissal of the appellants' petition on grounds of delay was erroneous. The Court emphasized that as long as a satisfactory explanation for the delay is provided, the petition should be considered on its merits. The Court set aside the High Court's order, allowing the appellants, who are the widow and minor daughter of the deceased, to pursue their claim for compensation arising from the road accident under the Motor Vehicles Act.
