G.SHANTHI vs REGIONAL TRANSPORT AUTH. — SLP(C) No. 24547/2010

Summary: On 21/10/2013, the Supreme Court heard G. Shanthi's special leave petition challenging the High Court of Madras's dismissal of her writ petition on grounds of available statutory remedy. The Court found that the appeal remedy had become time-barred after the High Court declined to grant extension. The Court disposed of the petition by directing that if the petitioner files an appeal before the State Transport Appellate Tribunal within four weeks, the delay shall be condoned and the Tribunal shall consider the appeal on merits.
