Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the validity of the High Court's refusal to condone a delay of 301 days in filing an appeal under the Commercial Courts Act, 2015. The Court considered whether the High Court's reasoning that no sufficient cause was shown was justified, especially given the provisions of the Limitation Act, 1963. The Court ultimately allowed the petition, emphasizing the importance of equitable considerations in condoning delays and the need for judicial discretion. The judgment underscores the Court's approach towards procedural delays in commercial disputes.
