Telangana High Court Rejects TSIDC Appeal Due to Excessive Delay
Imagine a company, TSIDC, lost a case in a lower court.
They tried to appeal, but waited way too long – over a year and a half!
The High Court said they waited too long and couldn't give a good reason for the delay.
The company said it was busy with elections and paperwork.
The court said everyone, even the government, must follow deadlines for legal actions.
Because the company took too long, they lost their chance to appeal the case about money they were owed, meaning the lower court's decision stayed in place.
Telangana High Court dismissed TSIDC's appeal due to a 514-day delay.
TSIDC was appealing a commercial court order that dismissed its claim for over Rs 1.3 crore.
The court found the delay "unexplained" despite TSIDC's cited reasons.
TSIDC attributed the delay to factors including election duties and a missing file.
The High Court stated that the "law of limitation binds everybody, including the government".
