A High Court applied a pragmatic approach to condonation of delay and held that a one-day delay should not be rejected pedantically where refusal would defeat adjudication on merits. Relying on the principle that substantial justice should prevail over technicalities in limitation matters, and noting the respondent's no-objection, the Court set aside the order treating the appeal as time-barred. The appeal was restored for fresh hearing and decision on merits, while all other contentions, including the underlying tax challenge and impugned notifications, were left open.
