Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the execution of the eviction order dated October 15, 1960 had become time-barred under Article 182 of the Indian Limitation Act, 1908, as well as Article 136 of the Limitation Act, 1963, which mandates a 12-year limitation period from the date of the decree. The Court emphasized that allowing stale claims would contradict the principles of the Limitation Act. Consequently, the appeal was allowed, and the execution application was deemed not maintainable due to the expiration of the limitation period.
