Section 5 Limitation Act | Negligence and Inaction Disentitle Condonation of Delay, Even in Immovable Property Disputes : Gauhati HC
Gauhati High Court refuses to condone a 1,163-day delay in filing an appeal, holding that negligence and failure to monitor court proceedings disentitle relief under Section 5 of the Limitation Act. The ruling underscores that litigants cannot rely on procedural lapses by courts to excuse their own inaction, setting a strict standard for condonation of delay.
