Delayed Justice: Supreme Court Rejects Civil Appeal Under Limitation Rule, Leaves Legal Question Open

The Supreme Court, through Justices J. B. Pardiwala and R. Mahadevan, dismissed the Civil Appeal due to a "gross delay of 229 days in filing the appeal," which was "not satisfactorily explained by the appellant." The Court expressly kept the "question of law open" and disposed of all pending applications.
