Puttappa vs Yankappa Bhimappa Thumbaramatti — 437/2025

Summary: The court allowed the petitioner's application (I.A. No.I) under Section 5 of the Limitation Act to condone a 52-day delay in filing a motor vehicle accident claim petition. The petitioner alleged that a bus driven recklessly by the respondent toppled and damaged his house on 09.04.2025, and he filed the claim on 05.12.2025 due to accidental injuries preventing timely filing. The court found sufficient grounds for condonation, noting that the Motor Vehicle Act is beneficial legislation and hardship would result if the delay were not condoned. The petition's delay is hereby condoned with costs of Rs.200. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
