On the strength of aforesaid precedents, it can be appreciated that the period for limitation for filing suit for declaration would be three years from the date, when the cause of action to sue first accrues. Plaintiff has sought a decree for declaration and the suit ought to have been filed within three years of right to sue first accrued. The right to sue first accrued to the plaintiff on acquiring knowledge regarding Will as per Article 58 of the Limitation Act. The crucial date for ascertaining the limitation is the date on which the application for amendment was allowed. Suit challenging the Will filed beyond the period of limitation of three years is barred by limitation. Once the cause of action starts running, it cannot be stopped. Any excuse like unavailability of certified copy of the document has no legal basis and the same in any case cannot extend the period of limitation. Article 58 of the Limitation Act would apply to the amended plaint in which the plaintiff sought to add the relief of declaration of title to the already existing prayer. Regarding amendment of plaint, doctrine of relation back would not apply for the reason that the Court which allowed the amendment expressly allowed it subject to plea of limitation, indicating thereby that there are no special or extraordinary circumstances in the present case to warrant the 530 of 547 ::: Downloaded on - 01-06-2020 21:03:45 ::: RSA Nos.2006, 1418 & 2176 of 2018 (O&M) 531 doctrine of relation back applying so that a legal right that had accrued to the defendant should be taken away.
