Bhivchandra Shankar More vs Balu Gangaram More

The Supreme Court overturned the Bombay High Court's decision that refused to condone the delay in filing an appeal against an ex-parte decree in a partition suit. The court emphasized the importance of ensuring that justice is served and that procedural delays should not bar a party from seeking redress. The ruling reinstated the appellant's right to appeal, highlighting the need for a fair hearing in civil matters.
