Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that Article 134 of the Limitation Act, 1963 applies to applications under Order XXI Rule 95 of the Code of Civil Procedure for delivery of possession by an auction-purchaser. The Court found that the High Court erred in interpreting Section 47 of the Code of Civil Procedure and the Limitation Act, stating that Article 136 does not supersede Article 134 in this context. The judgment of the Single Judge of the High Court and the District Court was set aside, reaffirming the applicability of Article 134 for such applications.
