KHAN BAHADUR SHAPOOR FREDOOM MAZDA vs DURGA PROSAD CHAMARIA AND OTHERS

The Supreme Court held that a letter from the mortgagor to the mortgagee constituted an acknowledgment of liability under Section 19 of the Indian Limitation Act, 1908. The Court found that the letter indicated a subsisting relationship between the parties as mortgagee and mortgagor, and acknowledged the mortgagee's interest. The appeal from the Calcutta High Court was dismissed, affirming the lower court's ruling that the letter met the criteria for acknowledgment under the statute.
