Sripathy's Special Leave Petition challenging the High Court of Madras' order dated 27/07/2005 that rejected his application to set aside a preliminary decree passed in 1990. The petitioner filed the application to set aside the decree in January 1999, nearly nine years later. The Court dismissed the SLP both on merits and on the ground of delay, finding that the High Court had rightly rejected the petition and that no interference was warranted with the High Court's well-reasoned order.
