Judgment text excerpt
The case concerns the application of Section 14 of the Limitation Act, 1963, regarding the exclusion of time spent prosecuting a previous proceeding in good faith. The Supreme Court examines whether the period from March 21, 1980, to February 15, 1982, should be excluded for the purpose of computing the limitation period for filing a suit for declaration and ownership. The primary issue is whether the conditions for the exclusion of time under Section 14 were satisfied based on the facts of the prior litigation.
