Facts
The Plaintiff claims to have purchased four plots (9, 10, 11, and 15) from the Defendant, who is the registered owner of L.R. No. 18046. The Plaintiff alleges that the Defendant refused to transfer the properties to him without legal justification.
Issues

- Time-barred nature of the Plaintiff's claim
