Judgment text as reported

WAQAS MAHMOOD VS BILAL MIR Principles---Limitation is a strict statutory mandate and not a matter of judicial discretion---Law of limitation is a statue of repose, intended to ensure finality in litigation to quieten title, and to bar stale and time-worn claims---It regulates existing rights by prescribing the period within which they may be enforced and does not itself create substantive rights---It cannot extinguish vested rights or curtail remedies unless its conditions are satisfied strictly in accordance with the statutory text---Equitable, ethical, or moral considerations cannot be invoked to circumvent its mandatory provisions, and justice, equity, and good conscience do not override its express language---Flowing from this foundational principle, the barrier of limitation cannot be crossed on the basis of hardship, sympathy, or any assumed inherent discretionary jurisdiction of the court---Ignorance, negligence, mistake, personal hardship, or poverty of a litigant does not save limitation---The statutory time bar is absolute unless the law itself provides an exception.
