YESHWANTRAO LAXMANRAO GHATGE & ANR. vs BABURAO BALA YADAV AND ORS.

The Supreme Court held that Section 52A of the Bombay Public Trusts Act, 1950, which allows recovery of properties of a Public Trust without limitation, does not revive extinguished rights to property. The Court clarified that the law of limitation is procedural, and if a right was extinguished before Section 52A came into force, it cannot be revived. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the trial court's ruling that the suit was barred by limitation under Section 28 of the Limitation Act, 1908.
