Mirza Mohammd Masood Khan & Ors vs State Of J&K & Ors on 25 March, 2009
In Gh. Qadir v.
Special Tribunal (supra), the Hon'ble Supreme Court was not
considering an application filed by any one under Section 8 of the
Act. They were considering an application made under Section 14 of
the Act by the heirs of the evacuee. We have taken note of Article 142
of the Schedule to Jammu and Kashmir Limitation Act which suggests
a time limit of twelve years for filing a suit to re-possess an
immovable property when dispossessed while in possession or has
discontinued the possession. At the same time, Section 28 of the Act
7
provides extinguishment of right to property upon expiry of the period
for institution of suits limited by the said Act.
