Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the applicability of the Limitation Act, 1963, specifically Article 60 and Article 65, in a property dispute involving co-ownership. The Court held that the plaintiff's suit was not barred by limitation as he could file the suit within 12 years from the date of the sale deed execution or within 3 years of attaining majority. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision that the appellant failed to prove 'ouster' against the plaintiff, thereby dismissing the appeal.
