Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of limitation for a suit concerning pledged ornaments under Article 70 of the Limitation Act, 1963. The Court held that the suit was not barred by limitation as it was filed within three years from the date of demand and refusal for the return of the pledged items. Additionally, the Court ruled that an admission of guilt in a criminal case is admissible in civil proceedings as relevant evidence under Section 43 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872.
