RAM BHAWAN SINGH AND ORS. vs JAGDISH AND ORS.

The Supreme Court dismissed the appeals as time-barred, holding that the appellants failed to demonstrate due diligence in prosecuting their claims, as required under Section 14 of the Limitation Act, 1963. The Court noted that the High Court's judgment dated 3rd October 1972 was final and that subsequent proceedings initiated by the appellants were invalid. The Court emphasized that there was no right of appeal against the High Court's order, which quashed the orders of the appellants and the revisional authorities, thus affirming the High Court's decision.
