Time Limitation - Curable Defect - Electronic Filing Compliance - Procedural Compliances vs. Substantive Rights: - The High Court found that the petitioners complied with the e-filing requirements, evidenced by the generation of an e-filing number. This compliance, despite the subsequent procedural deficiency, was considered as filing within the limitation period. The "Document not serial" error, a result of technical failures, was deemed a curable defect. Importantly, the Court opined that procedural compliances, including those encountered in the e-filing process, should not defeat the substantive rights of the parties. The essence of the ruling was that technical glitches should not bar access to legal remedies, particularly when the initial attempt to file was made within the prescribed limitation period.
