Purni Devi vs Babu Ram

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the execution application filed by the Plaintiff as being barred by limitation under Article 182 of the J&K Limitation Act, which mandates a 3-year period for filing the first execution application. The Court clarified that Section 48 of the Civil Procedure Code, which allows for a 12-year period for subsequent applications, does not apply in this case. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision, thereby confirming the lower court's ruling that the execution application was time-barred.
