Headnote

A vested right accrues to the opposite party on expiry of limitation; sufficient cause must be shown for every single day of delay before that right is disturbed.

Key holdings

  1. Limitation is not a mere technicality but confers a substantive right.
  2. General or vague explanations do not amount to sufficient cause.
  3. Illness or counsel negligence must be supported by concrete material.
