The Limitation Act 1908
Article 97 of First Schedule r/w
The Contract Act 1872
Section 20
Sale of the disputed property, when the Appellants failed to fulfil their obligation to transfer the possession of the entire sold land to the Respondents, is concerned. When the starting date for computing the three-year limitation period provided under Article 97 of the Act was 19.02.2010, the decree passed by the trial court on 24.03.2010 for return of the price paid for the failed consideration, that is, the deficient 19-Marla land, at the rate of the current market value thereof, was well within time. Supreme Court finds that the concurrent findings recorded by the three courts below do not call for any interference by this Court, and the present appeal is bereft of factual and legal merit. The appeal is, therefore, dismissed. .....Muhammad Farooq =VS= Javed Khan, (Civil), 2025(1) [18 LM (SC) 16] ....View Full Judgment
