Section 5 Limitation Act | Illiteracy & Lack of Legal Representation Justify Condonation of 5-Month Delay: MP HC Gwalior
MP High Court condones a five-month delay in filing an appeal where the litigant, being illiterate and unrepresented, learned of the adverse judgment only through the opposite party. The ruling underscores procedural fairness for vulnerable litigants, holding that ignorance of judgment due to counsel's failure to inform constitutes 'sufficient cause' under Section 5 of the Limitation Act.
