Vinod Gandhi v. District Collector, Madurai - Limitation Act - Delay Condonation - State Interest

Limitation Act - Section 5 - Delay Condonation - The interest of State cannot suffer for the acts of omission/commission of its officers. [Context: Supreme Court refused to interfere with Madras High Court order condoning a very long delay in filing a review petition by the District Collector, Madurai, against a 2007 second appeal judgment that had upheld the petitioner’s vendor’s title and patta, on which third‑party rights had also been created. ]
