M/S Shakti Tubes Ltd.Tr.Director vs State Of Bihar & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed whether the period spent in pursuing a writ petition should be excluded from the limitation period for filing a suit under Section 14 of the Limitation Act, 1963. The Court held that the time spent in litigation should be excluded if the writ petition was filed in good faith and the petitioner was pursuing a remedy that was not available in the original jurisdiction. The appeal was allowed, and the High Court's decision was set aside, allowing the appellant to file the suit within the extended limitation period.
