Ummer vs Pottengal Subida

The Supreme Court allowed the appeals, setting aside the High Court's order that dismissed the application for condonation of delay under Section 5 of the Limitation Act and the matrimonial appeal. The Court found that the appellant's prolonged illness, supported by medical documents, constituted sufficient cause for the delay of 554 days in filing the appeal. The case was remanded to the High Court for a decision on the merits of the appeal, emphasizing the importance of considering the health circumstances of the appellant under the Limitation Act.
