The court allowed the petitioner Salman Pathan's application for condonation of delay under Section 142(b) of the Negotiable Instrument Act, 1881 in filing a complaint against respondent Shaikh Riyaz for dishonor of a cheque worth Rs. 5,77,57,103. The court found the 2-day delay justified due to economic hardship preventing timely payment of court fees, and determined that permitting the delay would cause no prejudice to the accused while rejection would cause irreparable loss to the complainant.
