Legal Issues

  1. 1 When does the limitation period for execution of a decree for possession begin under Article 136 of the Limitation Act, 1963?
  2. 2 Should an application for execution filed within 12 years after execution of the sale deed be considered within limitation if the decree's enforceability is contingent upon such execution?

Ratio Decidendi

The period of limitation for execution of the decree began when the sale deed was executed and registered, as the decree itself made enforceability contingent upon such execution.
