Applications For Condonation Of Delay, Should Not Be Too Hyper-Technical: Kerala High Court

The Kerala High Court ruled that applications for condonation of delay in legal proceedings should not be dismissed on hyper-technical grounds. The court emphasized that a pragmatic approach should be adopted, considering the merits of each case rather than rigidly adhering to procedural timelines. This decision underscores the importance of substantive justice over procedural technicalities, ensuring that litigants are not unfairly deprived of their legal rights due to minor delays or errors in filing.
