#physical inspection

The Karnataka High Court has ruled that procedural delays in filing applications under Order XXVI Rule 9 CPC cannot override the need for accurate fact-finding when encroachment claims require on-site inspection. This reinforces judicial discretion to prioritize substantive justice over technical non-compliance, benefiting property litigants in rural and contested land cases where visual evidence is decisive.

The Rajasthan High Court has ruled that transport authorities cannot suspend a vehicle's registration based solely on alleged overloading without physically weighing the vehicle and verifying its make and design. This decision reinforces natural justice in administrative enforcement, protecting vehicle owners from arbitrary suspension orders and setting a binding standard for all RTOs in Rajasthan.
