Summary
The Shia Central Board of Waqf, Uttar Pradesh sought special leave against the Civil Judge, Faizabad’s final judgment of 30 March 1946. The Court dismissed the petition because the inordinate delay of 24,964 days had not been adequately explained.
Issues
- Whether the unexplained delay of 24,964 days permitted consideration of the special leave petition.
Held
- The inordinate delay in challenging the 1946 judgment was not adequately explained; the special leave petition therefore stood dismissed without a determination of the underlying merits.
Result
Special leave petition dismissed for inadequately explained delay of 24,964 days.
