Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the plaintiff's suit for declaration of three settlement deeds as null and void, affirming the High Court's ruling that the suit was barred by limitation under Articles 56 to 59 and Article 92 of the Limitation Act, 1963. The Court noted that the plaintiff failed to file the suit within the prescribed twelve years from when the settlement became known, as required by Article 92. The Court concluded that the defendants had acquired rights through adverse possession, rendering the suit untenable.
