No. 152 of 2025 under Order VII Rule 11 of the CPC raising the preliminary issue to the effect that the said probate case is barred by limitation, however, the learned Court has wrongly rejected the same. He submits in view of that the impugned order may kindly be set aside. 4. It is well settled that so far the limitation is concerned that is a mix question of fact and law and that can be decided on providing opportunity of both the sides to lead evidence on the issue in question and to avoid the multiplicity of the litigation it is also desirable that all the issues should be decided simultaneously and not separately. There is no illegality in the order of the learned Court, as such this petition is dismissed. (Sanjay Kumar Dwivedi, J.) Sangam/
