Mohd. Sahid vs Raziya Khanam (Died) Thr. Lrs

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision affirming the First Appellate Court's dismissal of the application under Section 5 of the Limitation Act, which sought to condone a delay of 349 days in filing an appeal. The Court emphasized that the appellants failed to demonstrate sufficient cause for the delay, thereby reinforcing the principle that timely filing is crucial in civil proceedings. The appeal was dismissed, maintaining the lower courts' findings regarding the lack of proper service and the procedural lapses in the original suit.
