    The Additional Sessions Judge allowed Jojin K Joseph's revision petition challenging dismissal of his delay-condonation application for a Section 138 NI Act complaint, but imposed strict conditions: deposit Rs. 2,000 with District Legal Services Authority within 10 days, then pay the originally ordered Rs. 2,500 costs to respondent Sandhya P within two weeks. The court balanced justice on merits against compensating the respondent for petitioner's laches in missing the cost payment deadline.
