VENKAPPA GURAPPA HOSUR vs KASAWWA C/O RANGAPPA KULGOD

The Supreme Court upheld the Karnataka High Court's dismissal of a suit for specific performance of a sale agreement, ruling that the suit was barred by limitation under Article 54 of the Limitation Act, 1963. The Court found that the appellant's notice issued in 1972 did not stop the limitation period from running, as the denial of the agreement occurred as early as 1960. Consequently, the suit was filed after the expiration of the three-year limitation period, leading to its dismissal.
