MOHAN LAL vs MOHAN LAL

The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's orders regarding the limitation period for the redemption of a usufructuary mortgage, clarifying that the limitation starts from the date the mortgage money is paid or satisfied, as established in Singh Ram Vs. Sheo Ram (2014) 9 SCC 185. The Court held that the previous reliance on Sampuran Singh & Others Vs. Niranjan Kaur (1999) 2 SCC 679 and Prabhakaran & Others Vs. M. Azhagiri Pillai (2006) 4 SCC 484 is no longer good law. The case was remitted to the Trial Court for a full trial on all issues raised, with a directive to expedite the proceedings within six months.
