RATANSINGH vs VIJAYSINGH

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of limitation under the Limitation Act, 1963, specifically Article 136, which provides a 12-year period for executing a decree. The Court held that the execution petition filed after a significant delay was barred by time, as the decree-holder failed to provide a sufficient cause for condonation of delay. The Court affirmed the District Court's decision, emphasizing that the dismissal of the second appeal by the High Court did not reset the limitation period for execution.
