The Kerala High Court has granted permission for a claim that was filed 13 years after an accident occurred. The decision addresses the issue of delay in filing the claim.
The Kerala High Court recently heard an application seeking permission to file a claim relating to an accident that took place over a decade ago. The petitioner argued that the delay in filing was due to circumstances beyond their control.
The court examined the reasons for the long delay and considered applicable legal provisions regarding limitation periods. It reviewed the evidence presented to determine whether the delay could be condoned.
After reviewing the submissions, the court allowed the claim to proceed, noting that the delay was justified under the circumstances presented. The order enables the claimant to pursue the matter further in accordance with the law.
