Yamunabai Laxman Sarate 2 vs Sanjay Bahauram Manegudge Advocate - Ramteke S.S. — 64/2025

The District Court of Gondia allowed the application for condonation of delay under Section 5 of the Limitation Act, finding that the applicants—illiterate Scheduled Tribe members, including an elderly woman and widow—had shown sufficient cause for the 452-day delay in filing their appeal. The court adopted a liberal approach, considering their financial constraints, lack of communication facilities, and absence of intentional or malafide conduct, while balancing equities by imposing costs of Rs. 1,000 payable to the non-applicants.
