Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed appeals against the High Court's decision to set aside an ex-parte judgment and decree in a specific performance suit. The court examined the significant delays in filing applications to set aside the ex-parte decree, which were 2345 days and 1522 days respectively. The court ultimately upheld the High Court's decision, emphasizing the need for a fair trial and the importance of allowing parties to present their case, even after significant delays.
