Condonation of delay


Condonation of delay

 condonation of delay is a matter of discretion of the Court. Section 5 of the Limitation Act does not say that such discretion can be exercised only if the delay is within a certain limit. ... But it is a different matter when the first Court refuses to condone the delay
