Section 5 of Evidence Act is an enabling provision to assist the litigants who failed to do an act within the prescribed time period as originally fixed under the various enactments. For example a litigant who failed to file an Appeal before the superior courts within the permissible time period as originally fixed then he can file it after the expiry of the prescribed time period provided he has to shown “sufficient cause” for non-filing the Appeal within the time period.
