Liberal Approach in Limitation Cases - Courts generally adopt a liberal view when interpreting provisions related to limitation, especially under Section 5 of the Limitation Act, to serve the ends of justice. This includes considering explanations for delays as genuine and realistic, avoiding penalizing procedural lapses unnecessarily, and allowing remedies to be pursued on merit. Several references emphasize that delays should not be viewed with rigidity if there is no gross negligence or deliberate inaction.
