Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of a 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 26 of the Limitation Act, 1963. The Court noted that the defendants had acquired rights through adverse possession as per Section 27 of the Limitation Act. The Court held that the suit was not maintainable due to the expiration of the limitation period, thus confirming the lower courts' decisions.
