Holding

The court condoned the 22‑day delay in filing the appeal.

Summary

The appellant, J.P. Porwal Realty & Ors., filed an interim application seeking condonation of a 22‑day delay in filing a second appeal (Stamp) No. 22138 of 2025. The respondents, Meghna Devang Juthani & Ors., did not oppose the application. The court examined whether the delay could be condoned under the provisions governing limitation for filing appeals.

Consequently, the court allowed the interim application, condoned the delay, and disposed of the application.
