Section 3 Transfer of Property Act | Actual Knowledge, Not Deemed Notice, Determines Limitation Defense in Specific Performance Suits : Andhra Pradesh HC
The Andhra Pradesh High Court has ruled that a suit for specific performance cannot be dismissed at the plaint stage merely because registered documents constructively notify the plaintiff of the transaction. The plaintiff’s pleaded actual knowledge must be accepted as true for limitation purposes, reinforcing that procedural rejection under Order VII Rule 11 requires more than technical notice - it demands substantive pleading of bar.
