the suit agreement casting any obligation on the part of the defendant to obtain permission for execution of sale deed, the plaintiff would get any benefit for the period of limitation to be counted after the suit notice was issued by the plaintiff ?

¶23

(iii) Whether the First Appellate Court erred in ignoring material evidence in the form of admission by the plaintiff in paragraph 11 of the cross examination which would indicate that the receipts regarding repayment of defendant’s loan were misused by the plaintiff for seeking specific performance of the suit agreement ?

¶24

(iv) Whether the refusal to execute the agreement in response to the plaintiff’s notice can be said to be the cause of action for filing the suit for specific performance after a period of 13 years ?

¶25

(v) Whether reversal of the finding recorded by the trial court in paragraph 28 of the judgment would amount to misappreciation of the facts and evidence on record by the First Appellate Court ?

¶26

(vi) Whether refusal by the Sub-Divisional Officer conveyed to the plaintiff on 19^th January 2007 for permission to sell the property would amount to the relevant date for reckoning the period of limitation as
