Limitation Act, 1963—Section 5

Limitation Act, 1963—Section 5—Civil Procedure Code, 1908—Order 41, Rule 22—Default in filing the cross objections within the statutory period of one month—Court has power to take on record the cross-objections even after the expiry of the said period and that too without the aid of Section 5 of the Limitation Act, 1963—The expression ‘or within such further time as the court may see fit to allow’ in Order 41, Rule 22(1) CPC clearly shows that wide judicial discretion is vested in the courts to permit the filing of the cross-objections even after the expiry of 30 days or for that matter any period which, in the facts and circumstances of the case, is found to be just and proper by the Court.
