Mansurbhai Mulubhai vs (State Of Gujarat) Deputy Collector, ... on 30 July, 2021
L.Rs. and Another Vs. Narasamma (D) Thr. L.Rs. and
Others [2012 (4) Scale 152], it was reiterated that the
expression 'sufficient cause' is to be given liberal interpretation
so as to advance substantial justice. It is stride that unless the
malafide is evident in the conduct of the litigant seeking to
condone the delay and cause is shown which is genuine, the
delay should be normally condoned accepting such
circumstances as sufficient cause.
