https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=185384 A suit challenging a sale deed said to have been executed by a minor was held to fall under Article 59 of the Limitation Act, because that provision governs suits for cancellation of voidable instruments, including claims based on fraud. Section 31 of the Specific Relief Act was noted to permit discretionary cancellation of both void and voidable documents, but a plea that an instrument is void does not by itself exclude limitation. A registered document also carries a presumption of valid execution, which the challenger must rebut. On the facts found, the plaintiff failed to sue within the relevant period, and the suit was barred by limitation. en-us Tue, 02 May 2006 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 07 Mar 2024 14:48:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=185384 A suit challenging a sale deed said to have been executed by a minor was held to fall under Article 59 of the Limitation Act, because that provision governs suits for cancellation of voidable instruments, including claims based on fraud.
