Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the entry made by the defendants in the plaintiffs' account book constituted an unqualified acknowledgment of liability under Section 18 of the Limitation Act, thereby giving rise to a fresh cause of action. The Court emphasized the necessity for parties to produce documentary evidence in their possession that could clarify the issues at hand. The judgment of the lower court was upheld, allowing the plaintiffs to recover the amount claimed based on the acknowledgment.
