Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of limitation under Article 134 of the Limitation Act, 1963, in the context of an application for delivery of possession following a public auction. The Court held that the application for possession was barred by limitation as it was filed beyond the prescribed period, emphasizing that the limitation period must be computed from the date of confirmation of the sale, not from the issuance of the sale certificate. The Court upheld the High Court's decision allowing the revision petition of the auction purchaser, affirming the execution court's ruling on the limitation issue.
