Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the acknowledgment of a mortgagor's right to redeem must indicate a subsisting liability and a clear intention to admit such a relationship. The Court found that the recitals in the sale deed acknowledged the mortgagor's right to redeem, thus resetting the limitation period under the Limitation Act, 1963. The appeal was allowed, and the decree for redemption passed by the Trial Court was restored, overturning the decisions of the Additional District Judge and the High Court.
