Section 91 MCoS Act | Family Medical Crisis Constitutes Sufficient Cause for Condonation of Delay in Co-operative Appeal : Bombay HC
The Bombay High Court set aside the rejection of a 190-day delay in filing a co-operative appeal, holding that the petitioner’s caregiving burden during his father’s terminal illness and death constituted a valid, humanely understandable reason for the delay. This ruling reinforces that natural justice requires courts to consider personal hardship when applying rigid timelines under cooperative law, protecting the substantive right to appeal for vulnerable litigants.
