RATAN BAPU PATIL (DEAD) BY LRS vs DODHU — C.A. No. 2372/2000

Summary: C.A. No. 2372/2000 The Supreme Court dismissed the appellant's appeal challenging a limitation bar on his possession application. The appellant purchased agricultural land at public auction in 1968 with sale confirmation on 17th April 1968. After obtaining a sale certificate in 1985, he applied for possession under Order 21, Rule 95 CPC in July 1985, but this was rejected as barred by the one-year limitation period under Article 134 of the Limitation Act from the sale confirmation date. The High Court upheld the dismissal, and the Supreme Court found no merit in the appeal, affirming that the limitation period ran from 17th April 1968, making the 1985 application time-barred.
