State of West Bengal vs Munni Bibi Advocate - Smt Tapasi Saha — 34/2025

Summary The Sessions Judge rejected a wife's application under Section 5 of the Limitation Act seeking to revise a maintenance dismissal order dated 19.04.2023. The court found no bona fide delay excuse, noting she had constructive knowledge of the dismissal through regular court appearances for maintenance collection until July 2025, yet waited over 5 months to apply for certified copy. The court held she acted in bad faith by filing this revision instead of pursuing the alternate remedy (restoration application) suggested by the trial court on 12.03.2024, and directed her to file a separate restoration application before the trial court within six months.
