Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the Trust's revision petition, affirming that the suit filed by the respondent-Architect is governed by Article 119 of the Jammu & Kashmir Limitation Act, 1995, rather than Article 56. The Court established that the determination of the applicable limitation period is crucial for the maintainability of the suit, and the lower courts correctly interpreted the relevant articles. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower courts' decisions regarding the amendment of the plaint and the suit's maintainability.
