The Supreme Court held that an application for drawing up a final decree in a partition suit is governed by Article 137 of the Limitation Act, 1963, which provides a limitation period of three years. The Court affirmed that once a preliminary decree is passed, the right to apply for a final decree arises, but such application must be made within the stipulated period; otherwise, it is barred by limitation. The Court dismissed the petitioner's appeal, upholding the High Court's decision that the application was indeed time-barred.
