<h1>Supreme Court of India Upholds High Court's Decision, Emphasizes Discretion in Delay Condonation Under Limitation Act Sections 3 and 5.</h1> The Supreme Court of India analyzed the principles of condoning delays in filing appeals, focusing on the Limitation Act's provisions. The court emphasized the balance between the strict interpretation of Section 3, which mandates dismissal of late appeals, and the liberal interpretation of Section 5, allowing delay condonation if sufficient cause is shown. The court highlighted the discretionary nature of this power, noting it may not be applied in cases of inordinate delay or negligence. Ultimately, the court upheld the High Court's decision to refuse condonation of delay, citing the petitioners' lack of diligence and failure to seek procedural review.
