Jagat Ram vs Varinder Prakash

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision that the appellant's suit for possession was barred by limitation under Article 65 of the Limitation Act, 1963, which prescribes a 12-year limitation period for possession claims following the death of a female owner. The Court clarified that the High Court correctly interpreted the compromise agreement and the implications of Section 14(2) of the Hindu Succession Act, asserting that the right to possession only arose after the widow's death on 5.9.1967. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's ruling.
