1934 (11) TMI 12 - HC - Indian Laws

Summary

The trial Judge found that the claim was barred due to a part-payment not being in defendant's handwriting. Full Bench reversed, citing amended law. New statute cannot revive barred debts. Section 20 amended in 1927, plaintiff's right unenforceable by lapse of time. Endorsement acknowledged liability, saving the claim. Civil Revision Petition dismissed.
