Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in allowing the appeal against the rejection of the plaint on the grounds of limitation. The Court emphasized that the suit for specific performance of the agreement dated 2.7.1973 was indeed barred by limitation as per the provisions of the Limitation Act, 1963. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order and upheld the trial court's decision to reject the plaint.
