Where the pleadings and evidence already disclose long delay, knowledge of earlier proceedings, and no plausible explanation for the delay, limitation can arise as a question of law and the suit must be rejected under Section 3 of the Limitation Act, 1963. On that basis, a remand serves no useful purpose when the courts below have already found the suit hopelessly time-barred. The remand was therefore unjustified and the limitation finding was upheld. en-us Wed, 09 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 11 Aug 2025 20:56:12 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=463168 In second appeal, the High Court is confined to the substantial question of law framed under Section 100 CPC and should decide it on merits rather than remand the matter for a fresh trial merely because a separate limitation issue was not framed.
