( 7. ) RESPONDENT No. 5, the State has been impleaded as formal party in view of the technical provisions of Order 1 Rule 3 (B) of CPC but no relief is sought against it. ( 8. ) LEARNED Counsel for the appellant has submitted that after declaring that the said sale deed was not executed in the interest and necessity of the family the appellate Court ought to have upheld the findings of the Trial court against the respondent No. 4 even after compromise in between the other parties because the suit was found within limitation by the Trial Court on proper appreciation, thus, in appeal there was no circumstances to dismental the same. According to his submission his prayer for declaration and possession was within limitation as per Article 109 of Limitation Act and submitted that question of limitation being substantial question of law is still open for adjudication, thus, it be admitted for hearing. ( 9. ) HAVING heard the learned Counsel for the appellant on perusal of the record of Courts below with the impugned judgments. It appears that aforesaid sale deed was executed on 18-3-1982 while instant suit was filed on 9-5-1992 at the initial stage the relief for possession was not prayed, the same was inserted in the plaint by way of an amendment application dated on 20-7-1996. Thus, the relief for possession was prayed after more than 14 years from the date of said sale deed. As per provisions of Article 58 of Limitation Act such suit against respondent No. 4 and executor of sale deed should have been filed within three years from the date of execution of sale deed, admittedly it was not filed within limitation. Beside this in view of Article 64 or 65 of the limitation Act, the suit for possession should have been filed within 12 years from 18-3-1982 and admittedly it was not filed. ( 10.
Beside this in view of Article 64 or 65 of the limitation Act, the suit for possession should have been filed within 12 years from 18-3-1982 and admittedly it was not filed. ( 10. ) NOW the question which required the consideration, whether the amendment application dated 20-7-96 by which the relief for possession was inserted in plaint could have been related back to the date of the suit, the answer is affirmative then certainly the claim of the appellant was within limitation and if answer is negative then the Appellate Court has not committed any error in dismissing the suit by allowing the appeal of respondent No. 4. Such question was answered by the Apex Court in the matter of K. Raheja Constructions Ltd. Vs. Alliance Ministries and others, reported in AIR 1995 SC 1768 , in which held as under:- "4. It is seen that the permission for alienation is not a condition precedent to file the suit for specific performance. The decree of specific performance will always be subject to the condition to the grant of the permission by the competent authority. The petitioners having expressly admitted that the respondents have refused to abide by the terms of the contract, they should have asked for the relief for specific performance in the original suit itself. Having allowed the period of seven years elapsed from the date of filing of the suit, and the period of limitation being three years under Article 54 of the Schedule to the Limitation Act, 1963 any amendment on the grounds set out, would defeat the valuable right of limitation accrued to the respondent. 5. . . . . . . 6.
