Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the findings of the first appellate court regarding the validity of the gift deed and the agreement for constructing a college on the suit land, emphasizing that the plaintiff's suit was not barred by limitation under Section 3 of the Limitation Act, 1963. The Court held that the defendants were granted one year to construct the college, failing which the plaintiff would regain rights over the land. The judgment of the High Court was affirmed, allowing the defendants a final opportunity to comply with the agreement.
