Gurtej Singh v. Baltej Singh and Ors.
Case brief
What is this about?
The High Court of Punjab and Haryana allowed the appeal, condoning a 205-day delay. It held that the plaintiff’s plea to challenge a mother’s sale of property allotted to her in a 2002 partition was untenable, as the plaintiff admitted lack of merit to impeach the sale. Consequently, both the suit and the second appeal were dismissed.
What did the court decide?
Delay of 205 days in filing the appeal was condoned and the appeal was allowed; the second appeal was dismissed as devoid of merit.
