Arvind Kumar Tiwari vs State of U.P. Advocate - Shyam sunder Mishra — 16/2026

Summary: The Sessions Judge, Chitrakoot allowed an application to condone a one-year delay in filing a criminal revision under Section 5 of the Limitation Act 1963. The court found "sufficient cause" for the delay, holding that the applicant had no knowledge of the criminal case against him until 22.01.2026 and no summons had been served on him, making his unawareness genuine and beyond his control. The court prioritized substantial justice over technical procedural requirements, imposing a cost of Rs. 500/-, and scheduled the revision for hearing on 24.03.2026.
