Collector Land Acquisition, Anantnag & ... vs Mst. Katiji & Ors on 19 February, 1987

In case of Collector, Land Acquisition Vs. Mst. Katiji (1987) 167 ITR 471, the Hon'ble Supreme Court has laid down the principle that the power to condone the delay provided under the statute is to enable the Courts to do substantial justice to the parties by disposing of the matter on merits, therefore, while considering the matters for condonation of delay, the law must be applied in a meaningful manner which subserves ends of justice and technical considerations should not come on the way of cause of substantial justice. There is no quarrel that the explanation and reasons explained for delay must be bonafide and not merely a device to cover an ulterior purpose such as laches on the part of the litigant or an attempt to save limitation in the underhand way.
