Ratansingh vs Vijaysingh And Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of limitation in executing a decree under Article 136 of the Limitation Act, 1963, which allows 12 years for execution from the date the decree becomes enforceable. The Court held that the dismissal of a second appeal as time-barred does not reset the limitation period for execution, as the dismissal was based on the lack of sufficient cause for delay. Consequently, the Court upheld the District Court's decision, affirming that the execution petition filed after the limitation period was not maintainable.
