Nitin Mahadeo Jawale vs Bhaskar Mahadeo Mutke

The High Court emphasized that litigants cannot solely blame their advocates for delays in judicial proceedings, asserting that the responsibility to be vigilant about their rights lies with the litigants themselves. The court held that even if an advocate is negligent, it does not justify condoning long delays in filing petitions. Consequently, the petition was dismissed, reinforcing the principle that litigants must actively engage in their legal matters.
