Rampyari vs Kusum — 17/2026

Case Summary: 17/2026 Court: Additional District and Sessions Judge, Sitapur (Court No. 02) Date: 03.04.2026 The court allowed a petition under Section 5 of the Limitation Act filed by petitioners Rampyari, Rajendra Singh, and Azad Singh, condoning a delay of approximately 8 months in filing an appeal. The petitioners explained the delay resulted from the death of respondent Santosh Kumar on 28.11.2021 (whose heirs' whereabouts were unknown initially) and the serious injury and subsequent death of petitioner Ram Prasad in July 2024 during the appeal period. The court, citing precedents emphasizing "grave miscarriage of justice" principles, found the reasons legitimate and not deliberately negligent, and granted condonation of delay with Rs. 2,000 as costs. The matter was directed for hearing on 22.04.2026. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
