Section 5 of the Limitation Act does not say that such discretion can be exercised only if the delay is within a certain limit. Length of delay is no matter, acceptability of the explanation is the only criterion. Sometimes delay of the shortest range may be uncondonable due to want of acceptable explanation whereas in certain other cases delay of very long range can be condoned as the explanation thereof is satisfactory. Once the Court accepts the explanation as sufficient it is the result of positive exercise of discretion and normally the superior Court should not disturb such finding, much less in revisional jurisdiction, unless the exercise of discretion was wholly untenable grounds or arbitrary or perverse. But it is different matter when the first Court refuses to condone the delay. In such cases, the superior court would be free to consider the cause shown for the delay afresh and it is open to such superior Court to come to its own finding even untrammeled by the conclusion of the lower Court." The reason for such a different stance is thus: The Primary function of a court is to adjudicate the dispute between the parties and to advance substantial justice. Time limit fixed for approaching the Court in different situation is not because on the expiry of such time a bad cause would transform into a good cause." 8- mijksDr fl)kUrksa dks /;ku esa j[krs gq, esjs er esa ;ksX; vihyh; U;k;ky; }kjk Lofoosd dk mi;ksx djrs gq, ifjlheu vf/kfu;e 1963 dh /kkjk 5 vUrxZr foyEc dks {kE; fd;s tkus ds vkosnu dks Lohdkj djus ds vknsk esa gLr{ksi djuk U;k;laxr izrhr ugha gksrk gSA 9- blds vykok Hkh ;ksX; vihyh; U;k;ky; ds vkyksP; vknsk ls izkFkhZ oknh ds vf/kdkjksa ij foijhr izHkko iMuk ugha ekuk tk ldrk gS D;ksafd ewy vihy ds xq.kkoxq.k ij foLrkj ls izFke vihyh; U;k;ky; ds le{k cgl djus ds volj izkIr gS vkSj izFke vihyh; U;k;ky; ds fu.kZ; ds mijkar mls f}rh; vihy@fuxjkuh tSls vf/kdkj gks og l{ke U;k;ky; esa nk;j djus dk volj fey ldsxkA 10- mijksDr leLr ifjfLFkfr;ksa esa eSa ;ksX; jktLo vihy vf/kdkjh ds vkyksP; vknsk esa dksbZ dkuwuh =qfV gksuk ugha ekurk gwa vkSj u gh mDr vknsk esa gLr{ksi djuk mfpr le>rk gwaA 11- ifj.kker% izkFkhZ oknh dh vksj ls izLrqr fuxjkuh dks vLohdkj dj [kkfjt fd;k tkrk gSA 12- fu.kZ; dh izfr ds lkFk v/khuLFk U;k;ky; dk fjdkMZ fu;ekuqlkj ykSVk;k tkosA fu.kZ; [kqys U;k;ky; esa lquk;k x;kA
