Dharmarth Trust J&K; Jammu & Ors vs Dinesh Chander Nanda

The Supreme Court held that the suit filed by the respondent-Architect is governed by Article 119 of the Jammu & Kashmir Limitation Act, 1995, which allows a period of six years for claims related to professional services. The Court clarified that the nature of the services provided by the respondent constituted professional consultancy, and thus, the remuneration should be classified as a 'fee' rather than a 'price' for 'work done'. The appeal by the Dharmarth Trust was dismissed, upholding the High Court's decision that the suit was not barred by limitation.
