Repeated Representation Doesn't Extend Limitation Nor Can Be Ground To Plead Fresh Cause Of Action To Overcome Delay & Laches: Delhi High Court

Live Law  

The Delhi High Court reiterated that it is a settled law that repeated representation does not extend limitation nor can be a ground to plead a fresh cause of action to overcome delay and laches. Patel and Justice Jyoti Singh dismissed an appeal filed with a delay of 46 years from the date the shop in question was demolished and over 11 years from. The appellant's case was that the Single Judge has erred in not granting the said relief and had erroneously dismissed the writ petition as being barred by delay and laches. The Court dismissed the appeal citing that there is a delay of 46 years between the demolition of the shop and filing of the writ petition.
