    Summary The District Judge of Chitrakoot rejected the appellant Santu's application seeking condonation of delay under Section 5 of the Limitation Act 1963 for filing a late appeal against a 2016 judgment granting permanent injunction. The court found that Santu's claims of absence due to COVID-19 lockdown and previous counsel negligence did not constitute "sufficient cause," as he was actively present during original suit proceedings but deliberately failed to file a written statement, leading to an ex-parte judgment. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
