5(6($5&+0(7+2'2/2*< 7he present research study is mainly a doctrinal and analytical. Keeping this in view, the researcher utilized the conventional method of using libraries consisting of primary sources like Judgment of the Supreme Court and High courts published in various Law Journals.   As the study is doctrinal in nature, historical and doctrinal methods are adopted because it is not possible to study purely by experimenta l method. The relevant material is collected from the secondary sources. Materials and information are collected by legal sources like books on CPC by writers such as C. K. Takwani and the bare acts. From the collected material and information, researcher proposes to critically analyze the topic of the study and tries to reach the core aspects of the study.

Law of limitation:-

The Code of Civil Procedure confers a right to appeal, but does not prescribe a   period of limitation for filing an appeal. The Limitation Act, 1963, however,   provides the period of filing up appeals. It states that the appeals against a decree or order can be filed in a High Court within ninety days and in any other  court in thirty days from the date of the decree or order appealed against. ,W LV
