                                    BEFORE
                    HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE KAUSHIK GOSWAMI

                                      ORDER

Date : 16.03.2026

Heard Mr. S. Khound, learned counsel appearing for the appellant.

The present Regular Second Appeal under Section 100 of the Code of Civil Procedure has been preferred against the Judgment and Decree dated 25.11.2025 passed in Title Appeal No. 46/2019 by the learned Civil Judge (Senior Division), Nagaon. By the said judgment, the appeal preferred by the respondent Nos. 1 to 12 was partly allowed and the Judgment and Decree dated 26.09.2019 passed by the learned Civil Judge (Junior Division) No. 2, Nagaon in Title Suit No. 126/2010 was set aside insofar as the decision relating to the Schedule-B suit pathway is concerned.

Upon hearing the learned counsel for the appellant and on perusal of the materials available on record, this Court is of the view that the appeal involves the following substantial question of law for consideration:

"Whether the learned First Appellate Court failed to properly

appreciate the mandate of Section 25 of the Limitation Act, 1963 in the context of the claim of the plaintiffs, particularly having regard to the sale deed of the year 1956, and the plea that the plaintiffs had Page No.# 14/14

acquired an easementary right by prescription in terms of the said provision?"

The appeal is accordingly admitted on the aforesaid substantial question of law.

Issue notice to the respondents, returnable on 12.05.2026.

Call for the records of Title Suit No. 126/2010 from the Court of the learned Civil Judge (Junior Division) No. 2, Nagaon and Title Appeal No. 46/2019 from the Court of the learned Civil Judge (Senior Division), Nagaon.

The appellant shall take steps for service of notice upon the respondents by speed post within three working days from today.

List the matter on the returnable date.
