The Supreme Court addressed the issue of limitation under the Limitation Act, 1963, specifically Section 3, which mandates dismissal of suits filed beyond the prescribed period. The Court upheld the lower courts' findings that the plaintiff's suit was barred by limitation as the cause of action arose on 20/09/1976, and the suit was filed on 13/05/1980, exceeding the three-year limit. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the trial court's decision to reject the plaintiff's claim for recovery.
