    Case Summary: K. Chellaiah v. Palani Advocate (CMP 5302/2025) The Principal District and Sessions Judge at Tiruvallur allowed K. Chellaiah's petition to condone an 18-day delay in filing a criminal appeal against his conviction under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. The court found that the petitioner's reasons—poor health and financial constraints preventing him from engaging counsel—constituted sufficient cause for the delay, citing the principle that "sufficient cause" should receive liberal construction to advance substantial justice where no gross negligence or bad faith is shown.
