Roshanlal Kuthiala & Ors vs R.B. Mohan Singh Oberai on 17 October, 1974
In Roshanlal Nuthiala and others v. R.B. Mohan Singh
Oberoi, AIR 1975 Supreme Court 824, it was held that the defects that
will attract the provisions of Section 14 of the Act, are not merely
jurisdictional strictly so called, but others, more or less neighbours, to
such deficiencies. Any circumstance legal or factual, which inhibits
entertainment or consideration by the Court of the dispute on the
merits, comes within the scope of the section and a liberal touch must
inform the interpretation of the Act, which deprives the remedy of one
who has a right.
