casestatus.in Summary
When a government or statutory body demonstrates sufficient cause, courts exercising discretion under Section 5 of the Limitation Act must liberally condone delay, particularly where refusal would foreclose adjudication on merits. A High Court errs in declining condonation without adequately weighing the public interest dimension inherent in litigation by municipal authorities. This analysis is brought to you via casestatus.in, where procedural principles in appellate delay matters are tracked and explained.
