SMT. KAMALA BAKSHI vs KHAIRATI LAL — C.A. No. 6231/1997

Case Summary: Kamala Bakshi v. Khairati Lal (C.A. No. 006231/1997) The Supreme Court dismissed the landlady's appeal, holding that rent arrears barred by limitation under Article 52 of the Indian Limitation Act (three years) cannot be recovered for eviction purposes. Although courts had earlier determined the proper rent at Rs. 140/month in 1991, the Court distinguished this case from precedents where a right accrues only after judicial determination, ruling instead that rent accrued monthly from tenancy inception in 1960, making pre-1989 arrears time-barred and legally unrecoverable.
