Popat And Kotecha Property vs State Bank Of India Staff Association

The Supreme Court upheld the Calcutta High Court's decision to reject the plaint under Order VII Rule 11(d) of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, determining that the suit was barred by limitation. The Court clarified that the suit, filed in July 1990, was not maintainable as the cause of action arose in 1984 when the appellant failed to execute the lease deed despite the completion of the building. The Court emphasized the importance of adhering to limitation periods in civil suits, thereby affirming the lower court's ruling.
