of <h1>Supreme Court clarifies 'sufficient cause' requires adequate justification, excludes negligence and stale claims in legal proceedings</h1> The legal term 'sufficient cause' requires adequate justification for delays or absences in legal proceedings. Under the Arbitration Act and Commercial Courts Act, this expression is not elastic enough to cover long delays beyond statutory periods and cannot excuse negligent or stale claims. The Supreme Court defines sufficient cause as circumstances where a party cannot be blamed for their absence, requiring the cause to be adequate to accomplish its intended purpose. The party must demonstrate they did not act negligently, lacked bona fides, or remained inactive. Courts must exercise discretion judiciously, examining whether mistakes are genuine or devices to cover ulterior purposes. While the expression should receive liberal interpretation to ensure substantial justice, negligence, inaction, or lack of good faith cannot be imputed to the concerned party.
