Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the applicability of Article 59 of the Limitation Act, 1963 in a case concerning the setting aside of a Deed of Sale executed by a minor. The Court held that since the deed was void ab initio due to the plaintiff being a minor at the time of execution, the limitation period did not apply, allowing the suit to be filed at any time. The Court upheld the findings of the Appellate Court that the suit was not barred by limitation, affirming the dismissal of the appeal.
