ALOY KUMAR CHANDA AND ORS Vs THE STATE OF WEST BENGAL AND ORS-03/02/2016

The concept of "continuing offence" gets attracted from the date of deprivation of stridhan, for neither the husband nor any other family members can have any right over the stridhan and they remain the custodians... Regard being had to the said concept of ''continuing offence" and the demands made, we are disposed to think that the application was not barred by limitation and the courts below as well as the High Court had fallen into a grave error by dismissing the application being barred by limitation.
