C.NATARAJAN vs ASHIM BAI

The Supreme Court ruled that the suit filed by the appellant for declaration of title and consequential injunction was barred by limitation under Article 58 of the Limitation Act, 1963. The Court held that the appellant had knowledge of the alleged mistake regarding the boundaries of the property long before filing the suit in 2001, as he had previously filed a suit in 1994 based on the same issue. Consequently, the Court upheld the rejection of the plaint under Order VII Rule 11(d) of the Code of Civil Procedure, affirming that the suit was not maintainable due to the lapse of time.
