The court granted the petitioner Nareshbhai Babuhai Gamit's application for condonation of delay in filing a criminal appeal against a conviction under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, noting that the delay was caused by his advocate's failure to inform him of the trial court's order imposing two years rigorous imprisonment. The court found no prejudice to the respondent (Shalibhadra Finance Ltd.) and permitted the criminal appeal to proceed, holding that technical grounds should not override substantial justice.
