STATE BANK OF INDIA vs HARDASBHAI GORDHANBHAI MONPARA Advocate - H S HIRANI — 30/2025

Summary The 4th Additional District Judge, Visavadar disallowed State Bank of India's application seeking condonation of 811 days delay in filing an appeal against a loan recovery suit dismissal. The court found that SBI's explanation—non-communication from its advocate and officer transfer—was unsatisfactory, as an institutional litigant must maintain vigilant records and administrative systems to track pending cases. The court also noted SBI made contradictory statements, having earlier filed a related application in May 2024, undermining its claim of learning about the judgment only in November 2025.
