Ajay Gupta vs Raju @ Rajendra Singh Yadav

The Supreme Court held that the trial court erred in allowing a suit filed on 03.01.2011, which was beyond the limitation period set by Section 4 of The Limitation Act, 1963. The Court clarified that Section 5, which allows for extension of time, does not apply to suits, and that the mistake of not filing on a non-working Saturday does not constitute a bonafide mistake under the Act. Consequently, the impugned order was set aside, and the application under Order 7 Rule 11 of the CPC was allowed, resulting in the dismissal of the recovery suit.
