Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision affirming the Trial Court's order which dismissed the appellant's application under Order 7 Rule 11 CPC for dismissal of the suit on the grounds of limitation. The Court noted that the suit filed by the respondent after a delay of 14 years was not maintainable, as no sufficient reason was provided for the delay. The Court emphasized that the principles of limitation under the Limitation Act must be adhered to, thereby reinforcing the importance of timely legal action.
