Case History
The Supreme Court dismissed Jagat Ram's appeal, upholding the High Court's finding that his suit for possession of land was barred by limitation. The Court held that under Article 65(b) of the Limitation Act, 1963, the 12-year period for filing a possession suit begins only when the Hindu female (widow Kirpi) died on 5.9.1967, and since Jagat Ram filed his suit on 14.12.1982—over 15 years later—it was time-barred, regardless of pending related litigation.
