Patel, J. observed that it is the duty of an advocate to cross-check\u00a0status of a judgment and place the accurate law before the court.\u00a0In the instant case, the parties disputed about the estate of one Kirtikumar Nayak, who had died in\u00a02005. In 2016, Kirtikumar\u2019s daughter filed a suit seeking a declaration that she was entitled to a\u00a0share in her father\u2019s estate and pleading for administration and partition of his properties.\u00a0Defendants, however, produced a Testamentary Petition filed in 2006 by Kirkitkumar\u2019s widow, which\u00a0was eventually granted, and contained an averment that Kirtikumar was survived only by his wife\u00a0and three sons. Defendants also contended that since Article 113 of the Schedule to Limitation Act, 1963\u00a0provides for a period of three years from date when \u201cthe right to sue accrues\u201d, the suit was barred\u00a0by limitation. But, the plaintiff claimed that the suit was covered by Article 65 (for possession of\u00a0immovable property based on title) or Section 110 (a suit by a person excluded from joint family\u00a0property), both of which stipulate a twelve-year period limitation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Court observed that two major decisions cited by the counsel for defendants had been set aside\u00a0by consent in appeal. But, the counsel maintained that they were binding precedents. The Court\u00a0disappointedly remarked that with the advent of online databases, there can be no excuse for failing\u00a0to check whether a judgement cited, has been confirmed or set aside in appeal. The Court, however,\u00a0refused to express any view on the issue of limitation because a substantially similar issue was\u00a0pending final disposal before a Full Bench of Bombay High Court.
