LIMITATION ACT, 1963 (ACT NO. 36 0F 1963)-SEC.5<br />
Law is well settled that while considering the application of<br />
condonation of delay the <strong>Court</strong> should not take a pedantic approach<br />
but should take a pragmatic view and it is not necessary for the party<br />
seeking condonation of delay to explain each day of delay.<br />
In the present case, due to official process and for tracing out the<br />
file, the delay had occasioned – Held, the appellate <strong>Court</strong> has not<br />
committed any illegality or material irregularity in allowing the<br />
application – However the cost imposed by the appellate <strong>Court</strong> is<br />
modified from Rs.5000/- to Rs.20,000/-. (Para 5)<br />
