Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court allowed the appeal against the Bombay High Court's order dismissing the appellants' application on grounds of delay. The Court restored Review Application No. 3330/2015, emphasizing that the delay in curing defects pointed out by the Registry should not bar the hearing of the review application. The judgment underscores the principle that procedural delays should not impede the substantive rights of the parties, thereby reinforcing the importance of access to justice under Article 21 of the Constitution.
