Idol Shri Ram Mandir, Sardarpur) On December 8, 2000, the Supreme Court allowed the State of M.P.'s appeal, holding that the first appellate court erred in dismissing the appeal merely on grounds of 25 days' delay without adequate justification. The Court set aside the High Court's summary dismissal of the second appeal and the appellate court's rejection, remanding the case to the Additional District Judge at Sardarpur to decide the appeal afresh on merits without treating it as time-barred. The appellant was ordered to pay Rs. 2,000 costs to the respondent. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
