    Solution

    Popat Bahiru Govardhane v. Land Acquisition Officer, 2013 ü  In the present case, it was held by the Hon’ble Court that the limitation Act applies to courts and not to quasi-judicial authorities. ü  Furthermore, it was held that the law of limitation may possibly austerely affect a particular party but, nonetheless has to be applied when the statute prescribes the same. ü  Moreover, that the Court(s) are devoid of the power to extend the period of limitation on equitable grounds, even if the statutory provision may cause hardship or inconvenience to a particular party.
