Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court allowed the appeal against the Bombay High Court's order dismissing the appellants' application on the grounds of delay. The Court held that the Review Application No. (St. 3330/2015) should be restored for hearing, emphasizing the importance of addressing the merits of the case rather than procedural delays. The decision underscores the principle that justice should not be denied on technical grounds, thereby setting aside the High Court's dismissal.
