Limitation Act | Cause of Action for Declaration of Title Accrues Only on Active Clouding, Not Erroneous Revenue Mutation : Punjab & Haryana HC

Punjab & Haryana HC clarifies that a co-sharer in continuous possession need not file a declaratory suit merely due to wrongful revenue mutation. The limitation period under the Limitation Act begins only when title is actively disputed or clouded, not upon erroneous record updates. This ruling protects possessory rights and prevents premature litigation over administrative errors.
