GOVIND PRASAD AGARWAL vs STATE OF JHARKHAND

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the appellant's claim as barred by limitation under Article 137 of the Limitation Act, 1963, which prescribes a three-year period from the accrual of the right to apply. The Court clarified that the right to apply accrued on 10/12/1985, and the application filed on 10/4/1991 was thus time-barred. The judgment referenced the precedent set in Steel Authority of India Ltd. Vs. J.C. Budharaja, confirming the application of limitation principles in arbitration matters.
