Litigation Laches Bars Interest on Compensation Even After Delay Condonation : Bombay HC
Bombay HC condones a 105-day delay in filing a motor accident appeal but denies interest for 16 years of litigation inaction, ruling that prolonged procedural negligence disentitles claimants to interest despite bona fide delay. This sets a precedent that condonation of delay does not automatically preserve interest claims under the Motor Vehicles Act.
