Leading authorities on Section 10(26AAB)
Courts should generally condone delay in filing appeals when there is a reasonable cause, and a liberal approach should be taken to ensure justice is not denied on technical grounds.
Courts should show utmost consideration to a litigant seeking condonation of delay, even for a significant period, if the explanation for the delay does not suggest mala fides or a dilatory strategy.
