Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of limitation under the Limitation Act, 1963, specifically regarding the filing of a suit for partition and declaration against a sale deed dated January 20, 1982. The Court held that the suit filed in 1989 was within the limitation period, as the plaintiffs were seeking to set aside the sale deed executed by their mother, which they claimed was without legal necessity. The Court confirmed the lower courts' decisions, thereby allowing the plaintiffs to pursue their claims regarding the ancestral property.
