HAT:- As per the provision of article 137 of the Limitation Act, so far the recovery of money is concerned, the person is required to file the application within three years when the cause of action arises - Here the case in hand, the applicants has failed to show what is the date of cause of action or what is the date of actual default. Therefore in my opinion, since the last amount claimed by the applicant was defaulted on December 26, 2014, December 29, 2014 and August 25, 2014 therefore limitation runs from that day.

So the present application is also barred by law of limitation. The applicants failed to produce any document to show that what was the agreed interest in between the parties on the basis of which money was borrowed. Therefore, the case of the applicant, does not comes under section 5(8)(a) of the I and B Code and further it is found that it also does not come either under (b) or (c) or (d) or (e) or (f) or (g) or (h) or (i) of section 5(8) of the I and B Code. Therefore, I am unable to accept the contention of the applicant th .....
