Limitation bars a money suit for recovery, but it does not extinguish the underlying liability to pay or prevent the landlord from relying on the tenant's default as a ground for eviction. The time-bar argument was therefore rejected, and the eviction decree was upheld. en-us Tue, 03 Feb 2004 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 15 Oct 2018 11:15:59 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=275736 Rent arrears that are time-barred for recovery may still support eviction under Section 11(1)(d) of the Bihar Buildings (Lease, Rent and Eviction) Control Act, 1982, because the provision requires rent that is "lawfully payable" and in arrears, not rent that is "lawfully recoverable."
