    Case Summary: Pankhaben Ambalal Chunara v. Vaishaliben Navinchandra Soni (RCA 57/2019) Court Decision: The appellate court upheld the trial court's rejection of the plaintiffs' suit, finding it barred by the law of limitation under Article 59 of the Limitation Act, 1963. Key Facts: Plaintiffs claimed defendant fraudulently obtained registered sale deeds (executed April-May 2010) by misrepresenting them as mortgage deeds, without paying consideration. The plaintiffs filed suit only in March 2018—nearly eight years later—alleging they discovered the fraud through revenue records. Reasoning: The court held the suit was time-barred because: (1) registration of documents constitutes deemed notice from the date of registration; (2) plaintiffs admitted being present at registration and providing thumb impressions, establishing knowledge in 2010; (3) the eight-year delay was unexplained and inconsistent with prudent conduct; (4) the "discovery of fraud" plea lacked specific foundational facts and appeared to be clever drafting to circumvent limitation. The court rejected the argument that limitation is a mixed question requiring trial, finding the bar apparent on the plaint's face itself. Order: Appeal dismissed; trial court's order upheld.
