TMT. VIJAYAMMAL vs THE STATE OF TAMIL NADU TVL. TAMIL NADU STATE TRANSPORT CORPORATION (VILLUPURAM DIVISIONIII) LTDAND OTHERS — C.A. No. 10441/2017

Case Summary: TMT. Vijayammal v. Tamil Nadu State Transport Corporation The Supreme Court allowed the appeal by petitioner Vijayammal against the High Court's judgment dated 16.10.2006. The case involved a 1990 State Transport Appellate Tribunal order that allowed Vijayammal's appeal and set aside a State Transport Authority order. The Transport Corporation challenged this via writ petition filed on 28.08.2000, which the High Court admitted despite an 8-year delay. The Supreme Court rejected the High Court's reasoning that public interest justified condoning the delay, holding that "public interest which is not a ground for condonation of delay." The Court set aside the High Court judgment and restored the Appellate Tribunal's 1990 order on delay grounds alone, without addressing the substantive merits.
