Mere delay in Filing Applications For Recall or Review Cannot be a Reason for Rejecting Petition on Technical Ground of Delay: Bombay HC

The Bombay High Court held that mere delay in filing applications for recall or review cannot be the sole reason for rejecting a petition on the technical ground of delay. The court emphasized that the substance of the case and the merits of the application should also be considered, particularly if there is a reasonable explanation for the delay and no significant prejudice caused to the other party. This ruling underscores a more flexible approach by the court, prioritizing the dispensation of justice over strict adherence to timelines, especially when genuine reasons for the delay exist.
