Daya Singh & Anr vs Gurdev Singh(Dead) By Lrs. & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the Punjab and Haryana High Court's dismissal of the appellants' second appeal, affirming that their suit for declaration and injunction was barred by limitation under Article 58 of the Limitation Act, 1963, as it was filed 18 years after the alleged compromise. The Court emphasized that the cause of action arose at the time of the compromise in 1972, and the appellants failed to initiate their suit within the three-year limitation period. Consequently, the Court affirmed the lower court's ruling, reinforcing the importance of adhering to statutory limitation periods in civil suits.
