MANJUNATH. M. vs RAJESH P. SHAH — C.A. No. 5037/2001

Summary: The Supreme Court allowed Manjunath M.'s civil appeal on August 3, 2001, setting aside the High Court's order that had rejected his revision petition due to a 102-day delay. The Court held that the delay was condonable and disagreed with the High Court's reasoning that landlords must be held to a higher standard of care than other litigants. The revision petition was restored to the High Court for hearing and disposal on merits, with the respondent awarded costs of Rs. 500 for the delay.
