The Supreme Court dismissed a 1997 suit challenging a 1974 gift deed, holding that a later broken promise did not postpone limitation. It allowed D. Kalidasreddy’s appeal on 29 October 2026.
Judge / Bench — Manoj Misra and Manmohan, Judges.
In 2026 INSC 1209, the court found an unconditional transfer, not a trust. The donor knew the instrument’s nature; the father’s later remarriage or cessation of financial gifts did not establish fraud at execution. Article 59’s three-year period had expired. The court set aside the lower courts’ decrees and dismissed the suit.
