Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's ruling that Article 120 of the Indian Limitation Act, 1908 applies to the suits filed by the hereditary worshippers of the Shree Dnyaneshwar Sansthan, rejecting the appellants' claim that Article 124 was applicable. The Court clarified that Section 23 of the Limitation Act does not apply to the suits in question, as it pertains to a continuing wrong rather than a continuing right. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision that the suits were barred by limitation, thus dismissing the appeals.
