Q: Extension of limitation period due to illness ?

Extension of limitation period due to illness.

(Gouri Shankar v. Kashi Nath, A.L.J. 1934 All. 367).

High fever, attended with delirium by reason of which the applicant was absolutely confined to bed in consequence of which the application for review was delayed by four days, was a sufficient cause for excusing the delay of those days.
