PERIA NACHI MUTHU GOUNDER AND ORS. vs RAJA THEVAR (DEAD) AND ORS.

The Supreme Court held that the suit filed by the heirs of the settlor for recovery of trust properties was within the limitation period as per Article 134B of the Limitation Act, 1908, commencing from the date of the settlor's death. The Court ruled that the Deed of Cancellation executed by the settlor was ineffective in law, thus maintaining the validity of the original Deed of Settlement. The Court affirmed the lower courts' decisions that the suit was not barred by limitation and decreed in favor of the respondents-plaintiffs.
