Does section 5 apply to the main case: Section 5 of the statute of limitations of 1908 will only apply to appeals and other mentioned cases including review , revision and even section 5 in case of appeal in criminal cases. Section 5 of the statute of limitations will be applicable in the case of original cases. In most of the civil cases, the period of limitation is extended from 3 years to 12 years but according to the provisions of this section, the period of limitation of appeal and application is from 7 days to 6 months. Since the time limit of the appellant is less, if there is a delay in filing an appeal or submitting other application including revision for reasonable reasons, the delay may be waived subject to reasonable grounds under this section. Therefore, since there is a lot of time available in the original case, section 5 of the original case is not usable. It is important to note that if the matter appears to be a factual question again to the court that the delay could have been avoided if reasonable action had been taken with due diligence, then the court could not accept the delay in that case. An explanation or explanation for the day has to be given to the court.
