RAM BACHAN RAI . vs RAM UDAR RAI . — C.A. No. 1100/2000

Summary: RAM BACHAN RAI v. RAM UDAR RAI (C.A. No. 001100/2000) The Supreme Court allowed the appeal and held that the execution application filed on 5.4.1991 was time-barred under Article 136 of the Limitation Act, 1963, which prescribes a 12-year limitation period for executing decrees. The Court clarified that the limitation period begins from when the decree becomes enforceable (the date of decree: 3.5.1976), not from subsequent orders or dismissals of appeals. Accordingly, the High Court and Executing Court erred in allowing the execution application, and both their orders were set aside.
