Section 214 Indian Succession Act | Limitation for Mortgage Debt Recovery Begins When Due, Not at Execution: Andhra Pradesh HC

Andhra Pradesh High Court clarifies that legal heirs can sue for mortgage debt recovery without a succession certificate under Section 214 of the Indian Succession Act. The limitation period under Article 62 of the Limitation Act starts when the debt becomes due as per the mortgage terms, not at the time of execution, ensuring timely access to justice for creditors.
