Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the applicability of Section 5 of the Limitation Act to appeals under Section 30 of the Recovery of Debts due to Banks and Financial Institutions Act, 1993. The court held that Section 5 is applicable, allowing for the condonation of a 31-day delay in filing the appeal by the Oriental Bank of Commerce. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order that had quashed the Debts Recovery Appellate Tribunal's decision to condone the delay.
