Order VII Rule 11 CPC | Fresh Cause of Action Overrides Limitation Bar at Plaint Rejection Stage : Patna HC

Patna High Court rules that a plaint cannot be rejected under Order VII Rule 11 CPC solely on limitation grounds if a fresh cause of action arises from subsequent conduct, such as interference with possession decades after partition. The ruling clarifies that limitation must be assessed based on the latest act of infringement, not the original partition date.
