Hubert J. D'Souza vs Corporation Bank & Ors

The Supreme Court held that the complaint filed by the appellant was not barred by limitation, as the cause of action arose upon receipt of the bank's denial of liability on February 20, 1999. The Court found that the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission erred in dismissing the complaint on the grounds of limitation, as the complaint was filed within the permissible period. The appeal was allowed, the impugned order was set aside, and the matter was remitted to the National Commission for a hearing.
