1. The present Appeal, filed by the Appellant [Plaintiff before the Commercial Court], assails the correctness of judgment and decree dated 13.08.2024 [hereinafter referred to as „Impugned Order‟] passed by learned Commercial Court in CS(COMM) No. 282/2020 whereby the Commercial Court dismissed the Plaintiff‟s application under Section 14 of the Limitation Act, 1963 [hereinafter referred to as „Limitation Act‟] and, consequently, dismissed the suit for recovery of Rs. 58,73,850/- as being barred by limitation.

2. The issue which arises for consideration in the present Appeal is whether the Commercial Court was justified in holding that the suit was barred by limitation and in declining the benefit of Section 14 of the Limitation Act
