Order

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. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
