DAYA SINGH vs GURDEV SINGH(DEAD) BY LRS. .

The Supreme Court upheld the Punjab and Haryana High Court's dismissal of the second appeal, affirming that the 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 established that the cause of action arose at the time of the compromise in 1972, and the appellants failed to file their suit within the three-year limitation period. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, reinforcing the importance of adhering to statutory limitation periods in civil suits.
