In Brief
Y. Savarimuthu challenged an order in civil appeals arising from a special leave petition. The key issue was whether the appellant had complied with Section 80 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, which requires notice to the State at least two months before filing a suit. The Court held that substantial compliance was sufficient. Since the appellant gave a legal notice with supporting letters, and more than two months elapsed before the suit was filed, the statutory requirement was adequately satisfied. The appeals were disposed of accordingly.
