The Text below is only a summarized version of the order pronounced

Appellant sustained injuries in accident resulting in permanent disability. Applied for award of
compensation. Application dismissed on ground of laches. On appeal High Court dismissed
application on ground that Additional Chief Judge had given cogent reasons for setting aside of
application. Supreme Court held that in such peculiar situation in which appellant suffered laches
should not have been main decisive ground for non suiting for once and all. Set aside Order of High
Court.
