We have won 498a in trail court (acquitted)and session court dismissed condoned delay appeal of opponent based on not showing proper grounds for delay and on merits of the case. Now opponent filed revision petition in high Court u/s 397 and 401 crpc. He openly challenged us that he will make us run after courts for years even though he wouldn't win the case. Does courts blindly accept appeals without proper merits?he want to use weakness of courts(time delay). Please share any latest supreme court judgment regarding dismissal of appeals against 498a based on condoned delay and merits of the case. Request your expert suggestions in handling these kind of crooks.
