Dissatisfied with the same the plaintiff has come up in Second Appeal in this Court. 4. It is a common case of the parties that the limitation for filing the suit for redemption expired on 1-1-1971. Whereas the present suit was filed on June 10, 1971. According to the plaintiff she is entitled to exclude the period under S. 14 of the Limitation Act which was spent in prosecuting the application made by her before the Collector under the Act.

In support of his contention he referred to Bhai Jai Kishan v. Peoples Bank. AIR 1944 Lah 136(FB), Smt. Swaranamoyee Dasi v. Debendranath Karan. AIR 1944 Lah 136(FB). Parameswaran Kartha v.

The Court contemplated under S. 14 of the Limitation Act does not necessarily mean the Civil Court under the Civil P. C.
