https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=295737 Section 14 of the Limitation Act permits exclusion of time spent in a prior civil proceeding prosecuted with due diligence and good faith before a forum unable to entertain it for defect of jurisdiction or a similar cause. Proceedings before the Collector under the Redemption of Mortgages (Punjab) Act, 1913 were treated as civil proceedings in a court because the Collector determined civil rights relating to redemption and mortgage money. Dismissal of the application as not maintainable, without adjudication on merits, was regarded as an "other cause of like nature", so the period spent there could be excluded. The redemption suit was therefore within limitation. en-us Tue, 17 May 1983 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 17 Jun 2021 16:56:57 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=295737 Section 14 of the Limitation Act permits exclusion of time spent in a prior civil proceeding prosecuted with due diligence and good faith before a forum unable to entertain it for defect of jurisdiction or a similar cause.
