Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ruled that the suit filed by Madina Begum was not barred by limitation under Article 54 of the Limitation Act, 1963, and emphasized that the High Court should have addressed all issues in the first appeal rather than limiting its decision to the preliminary issue of limitation. The Court clarified the interpretation of the agreement to sell, affirming the necessity for a comprehensive examination of the case rather than a narrow focus. The appeal was allowed, and the High Court's decision was set aside, directing it to consider all relevant issues.
