Tilkeshwar Singh Alias Tilkeshwar ... vs State Of Bihar And Ors. on 17 March, 2004
2. Before the learned single Judge the petitioner relied upon a judgment rendered by a learned single Judge of this Court in the case of Kunti Kumari alias Manju Singh v. State of Bihar, reported in 1998 (3) PLJR 490, in support of the submission that the settlement authority has no power to condone the delay in filing the suit filed under Section 106 of the Act as Section 5 of the Limitation Act is not applicable. The learned single Judge doubted the correctness of the aforesaid judgment as according to him, the suit filed under Section 106 of the Act is not a suit filed in the Civil Court and as such it is an application and is covered by Section 5 of the Limitation Act and/that is how the matter has been placed before us by an order of Hon'ble the Chief Justice.
