Judgment text as reported

MUHAMMAD ASLAM CHATTHA VS SHEHNAZ AKHTAR ZAHOOR AHMED. S. 23---Recurring or successive causes of action---Scope---The concept of continuing or successive causes of action is well established in the legal framework of the Limitation Act, 1908---When a party faces recurring or successive causes of action, whether originating from the terms of a contract or by operation of law, each instance presents a fresh opportunity that resets the limitation period---Notably, a party's failure to utilize a previous cause of action does not inhibit its ability to capitalize on a subsequent one.
