Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, extended the limitation period for filing petitions and appeals, recognizing the difficulties faced by litigants. The court excluded the period from March 15, 2020, to March 14, 2021, from the computation of limitation, allowing litigants additional time to file their cases. This order aims to ensure access to justice during extraordinary circumstances.
