Justice K. Kannan condoned significant delays in filing the second appeal. The court dismissed the appeal, holding there was no merit, noting the case was well-reasoned and that a nationalized bank would not obtain signatures on blank papers without disbursing the loan.
The second appeal is dismissed.
