Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the cause of action for filing a complaint arises from the bank's denial of liability communicated on February 20, 1999, and thus the complaint filed on October 18, 1999, was within the limitation period. The Court found that the National Commission erred in dismissing the complaint as barred by time. The appeal was allowed, the impugned order was set aside, and the matter was remitted to the National Commission for a fresh hearing.
