Union Of India vs Popular Construction Co on 5 October, 2001

8. The decision in Union of India Vs. Popular Construction Company, (2001) 8 SCC 470 did not deal with specific issues in this case. In that decision it was held that in respect of "sufficient cause cases" the provisions of Section 34(3) of the Act which are special provisions relating to condonation of delay override the general provisions of Section 5 of the Limitation Act, 1963 (in short "the Limitation Act").

Commissioner Of Customs & Central ... vs M/S Hongo India(P) Ltd.& Anr on 27 March, 2009

In Commissioner of Customs & Central Excise Vs. Hongo India (P) Ltd., 2009 (5) SCC 791 also it was held that "it is well settled law that it is the duty of the court to respect the legislative intent and by giving liberal interpretation, limitation cannot be extended by invoking the provisions of Section 5 of the Limitation Act." It was further held that "the applicability of the provisions of the Limitation Act, therefore is to be judged not from the terms of the Limitation Act but by the provisions of the Central Excise Act (with which the court was concerned in that case) relating to filing of reference application to the High Court." Applying the said ratio to the present case also, it will be found that the law earlier laid down of the court being required to be liberal in condoning the delay in refiling is found repugnant to the legislative intent of Section 34 (3) and the limitation provided therein cannot be defeated by condoning liberally the delays in re-filing.
