Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the extension of limitation periods for legal proceedings due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It acknowledged the challenges faced by litigants in filing cases during the pandemic and previously extended the limitation period. The court subsequently clarified that the period from March 15, 2020, to March 14, 2021, would be excluded from the computation of limitation, allowing litigants to utilize the remaining period from March 15, 2021, onwards.
