Appeal can't be dismissed for want of certified copy of order appealed against


Quick Summary
The Orissa High Court has ruled that an appeal should not be dismissed simply because a certified copy of the order being appealed was not submitted on time. In this case, the appellant filed their appeal electronically with a downloaded copy of the order within the deadline. The delay in providing the certified copy was due to the lawyer being in self-quarantine during the Covid-19 pandemic. The court considered this a plausible explanation and a case of substantial compliance, stating that justice should not be hindered by overly technical interpretations.
