Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court referred the matter to a three-Judge Bench, doubting the correctness of P.K. Kutty Anuja Raja & Anr. Vs. State of Kerala & Anr. regarding the limitation period for filing suits under Article 58 of the Limitation Act, 1963. The Court held that the suits filed by the respondents were within the limitation period, affirming the Trial Court's decision that the time spent in the Special Leave Petition should not be excluded. The appeals were dismissed, upholding the High Court's ruling.
