Judgment text as reported

Mst. KISHWAR SULTANA VS NIZAM-UD-DIN (DECEASED), through Legal Heirs Principles---Hurdles of the limitation could not be crossed under the guise of any hardships or imagined inherent discretionary jurisdiction of the Court---Ignorance, negligence, mistake, hardship or even poverty of the parties did not save from limitation---Law of limitation was a statute of repose, designed to quieten title; and to bar stale and waterlogged disputes; and was to be strictly complied with---Statutes of limitation by their very nature were strict and inflexible, which did not confer any right but only regulated the rights of the parties---Such a regulatory enactment could not be allowed to extinguish vested rights or curtail remedies , unless all conditions for extinguishment of rights and curtailment of remedies were fully complied with in letter and spirit---There was no scope in law of limitation for any equitable or ethical construction to get over them---Justice, equity and good conscience did not override the laws of limitation as their object was to prevent stale demands and so they ought to be construed strictly.
