world 🏛️ Plaint can be rejected if limitation is clear
The Supreme Court ruled that a plaint can be dismissed at the initial stage if the filings clearly show it is time-barred. This decision was made by a bench including Justice JB Pardiwala and Justice K Vinod Chandran. The case involved a suit filed in October 2022 regarding a JV Agreement from 2014, which was cancelled in April 2016. The Court held that since the cause of action arose in 2016, the suit was grossly delayed beyond the three-year limit. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside lower court orders and rejected the plaint. ⚖️
