casestatus.in Summary

Case Summary: P. Sarathy v. State Bank of India The Supreme Court held that P. Sarathy's civil suit challenging his removal from SBI in 1983 was filed within the statutory limitation period. The Court ruled that the Deputy Commissioner of Labour (Appeals)—an authority under the Tamil Nadu Shops and Establishments Act—qualifies as a "court" under Section 14 of the Limitation Act, and the time spent in that appeal proceeding should be excluded when calculating the limitation period for filing a civil suit. Consequently, when the exclusion period is applied, Sarathy's 1988 suit falls within the three-year limitation period, and the appeal was allowed. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
