Retrospective Limitation Periods Invalid for Beneficial Schemes Without Express Provision | Punjab & Haryana HC Directs Payment Under Deen Dayal Yojna
The Punjab & Haryana High Court ruled that a 90-day limitation period introduced after a beneficiary’s right accrued under the Deen Dayal Yojna cannot be applied retrospectively. The Court emphasized that beneficial legislation must be interpreted liberally, directing payment within two months as the amendment lacked explicit retrospective effect.
