HANS RAJ vs RATTAN CHAND, ETC.

The Supreme Court held that the appellant's application regarding property taken over by the receiver was governed by Section 68 of the Provincial Insolvency Act (Punjab Act 5 of 1920), which imposes a limitation period of 21 days from the date of the act complained of. The Court found that the application was made beyond this period and thus was incompetent. The Court clarified that while Section 4 defines the jurisdiction of courts in insolvency matters, any application regarding the receiver's actions must adhere to the limitations set forth in Section 68.
