The High Court exercised its power under section 25(2) Schedule item 8 read with the Rules of Court 2012 to extend the 60‑day filing period in section 91 ESSA because the time limit concerned procedure (not the cause of action) and the statute is social legislation requiring purposive interpretation; on the facts the insured's deviation to buy food en route to drop his wife was a reasonable interruption within section 24 and therefore the JRKS decision was set aside and the appeal allowed on the merits.
