In which of the following cases the Supreme Court held that "Law of Limitation may harshly affect a particular party, but it has to be applied with all of its rigors when the statute so prescribes and the Courts have no power to extend the period of limitation on equitable grounds"?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
The quoted warning is from P K Ramachandran. The State did not provide a reasonable or satisfactory explanation for a 565-day delay, and the Supreme Court set aside the order condoning it. Equitable sympathy alone could not override limitation; a legally available condonation power still requires sufficient cause.
