Case Laws Customs SC

Suit for malicious prosecution against government authorities is barred by limitation as notice u/s 80 CPC was issued after expiry of limitation period, contrary to rulings in Executive Engineer, Irrigation Division, Puri v. Gangaram Chhapolia and State of Gujarat v. Kothari and Associates, which mandate notice before limitation expires. High Court's view declaring suit maintainable is set aside and quashed, with declaration that suit is time-barred.
