The Supreme Court addressed whether an application for final decree proceedings under Section 54 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 is subject to the Limitation Act, 1963. The Court held that such applications are indeed governed by the Limitation Act, specifically Articles 136 and 137, and that the application filed after 17 years was barred by limitation.
