    Summary of WP/3274/2025 - Swayam Realtors & Traders LLP vs. State of Maharashtra Decision: The Bombay High Court allowed the writ petition, directing registration authorities to accept and register BIFR orders transferring industrial company properties to the petitioner, holding that statutory limitation periods must be computed from when documents become legally capable of registration (after stamp duty adjudication completion), not from original execution dates. Key Reasoning: The court rejected the state's limitation defense under Registration Act Sections 23-25, finding the 17-year delay was state-induced through non-compliance with binding BIFR directions rather than petitioner negligence, and that documents under stamp adjudication cannot legally be registered, so limitation cannot run during such proceedings.
