Allahabad High Court imposes ₹2 fine in 40-year-old property case

The Allahabad High Court imposed a symbolic ₹2 fine on litigants who challenged a 1985 court decree in 2022, nearly 10,274 days late. The petitioners, heirs of a 1984 loan defaulter, claimed ignorance of auction proceedings that cost them agricultural land, but court records showed their active participation. The HC called their petition a "gross abuse of process."
