In which of the following cases the Supreme Court held that "The expression sufficient cause should be considered with pragmatism in justice oriented approach rather than the technical detection of sufficient cause for explaining every day's delay."?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
In "State (NCT of Delhi) v. Ahmad Jaan, (2008) 10 JT 179" the Supreme Court held that "sufficient cause" under section 5 of the Limitation Act must be construed pragmatically, in a justice-oriented way, rather than by demanding an explanation for every day's delay. A party must still show sufficient cause. The other cases deal with different limitation questions and are not the source of this observation.
