M/S SHAKTI TUBES LTD.TR.DIRECTOR vs STATE OF BIHAR .

The Supreme Court addressed whether the time spent 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 established that the period during which a party is prosecuting a writ petition in good faith can be excluded from the limitation period, thereby allowing the appellant to file a suit despite the expiration of the usual limitation period. The Court held that the High Court's decision to deny this exclusion was incorrect, thus allowing the appeal.
