https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=183305 Section 5 of the Limitation Act applies to a Letters Patent Appeal filed against an order in contempt proceedings because the appeal was governed by a special-law limitation period under Section 19 of the Contempt of Courts Act. Since the applicable appellate-side rules did not expressly exclude Section 5, Section 29(2) attracted Sections 4 to 24 of the Limitation Act, including condonation of delay. The dismissal of the appeal for delay was therefore unsustainable, and the appeal was restored for decision on merits and remitted to the Division Bench. en-us Mon, 06 May 1996 00:00:00 +0530 Sat, 04 Jun 2016 13:14:09 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=183305 Section 5 of the Limitation Act applies to a Letters Patent Appeal filed against an order in contempt proceedings because the appeal was governed by a special-law limitation period under Section 19 of the Contempt of Courts Act.
