Section 5 Limitation Act | Non-Receipt of Order Constitutes Sufficient Cause for Condoning 18-Month Delay in Arms Licence Appeal : MP HC Jabalpur
The Madhya Pradesh High Court has ruled that a petitioner’s failure to receive a statutory order, despite due diligence, qualifies as sufficient cause under Section 5 of the Limitation Act to condone significant delay in filing an appeal. This sets a critical precedent for citizens challenging administrative decisions where official communication fails, reinforcing natural justice in licensing regimes.
