limitation Act, 1963 Article 59.
Sale deed was executed when the plaintiff was allegedly a minor. The plaintiff attempted to prove their minor status at the time of the deed by presenting a school certificate, but it was dismissed due to its low evidentiary value. The certificate was written on a plain piece of paper, not on official school letterhead, and the signature was not verified. Article 59 of the limitation act stipulates a time limit of three years to challenge an instrument, such as a deed, or decree from the date of knowledge of the alleged fraud. However, in the plaint, there's no clear indication of when the plaintiff became aware of the purported fraud. Given these circumstances, the court didn't find any merit in the appeal. [ID 416550]
