Limitation Period for Challenging a Will | Knowledge of Will’s Existence, Not Dispossession, Triggers Limitation Under CPC Order 7 Rule 11 : MP HC Jabalpur
The Madhya Pradesh High Court ruled that the limitation period to challenge a will begins only when the beneficiary gains actual knowledge of the will’s existence, not when they are dispossessed. This clarifies a critical procedural safeguard for testamentary disputes, ensuring plaintiffs aren’t barred merely due to delayed discovery of concealed wills, even if dispossession occurred years earlier.
