https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=296334 Delay in filing and re-filing a challenge to an arbitral award was refused condonation because the explanation based on file movement, internal approvals, missing records, and additional court fee was treated as ordinary governmental lethargy, not a reasonable or bona fide cause. The HC applied strict scrutiny and reaffirmed that the Government has no separate limitation regime from other litigants. In disputes relating to arbitral awards, delay in re-filing is not to be condoned routinely, and Section 5 of the Limitation Act does not by itself justify a liberal approach without a satisfactory explanation. The delayed appeal therefore failed at the threshold on limitation. en-us Wed, 10 Apr 2013 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 15 Jul 2021 10:22:03 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=296334 Delay in filing and re-filing a challenge to an arbitral award was refused condonation because the explanation based on file movement, internal approvals, missing records, and additional court fee was treated as ordinary governmental lethargy, not a reasonable or bona fide cause.
