Litigant Seeking To Condone Delay Must Explain Why Appeal Was Not Filed From First Day Within Limitation Period : Supreme Court

The Supreme Court ruled that litigants seeking to condone delays in filing appeals must provide a valid explanation for why the appeal was not filed within the limitation period. The Court emphasized that merely citing the passage of time or external factors was insufficient. The ruling requires a more substantial justification for the delay, ensuring that appeals are not delayed unnecessarily. This decision highlights the importance of adhering to procedural deadlines and the need for a diligent approach to litigation.
