Additional Information

• The true effect of Section 12 is that the periods referred to in the various sub-section have to be added to the period of limitation for ascertaining the last date for filing the appeal, etc. There need not be any prayer or application by the party for the exclusion of time under Section 12.[Indira House v. Kishan N. Lalwani AIR 2003]. 
• This Section confers a substantive right upon a party and it is the duty of the court to exclude the time when the case comes under the purview of any of the sub-sections of Section 12. 

The correct answer is 27.

Key Points

• Section 27 of the Limitation Act, 1963, provides for the Extinguishment of right to property.

The correct answer is Optiion 3.

Key Points

•  Under Section 18 of the Limitation Act, 1963, an acknowledgment of liability in writing, signed by the party against whom the claim is made, before the expiration of the prescribed period of limitation, provides a fresh period of limitation starting from the date of acknowledgment.
• However, if the acknowledgment is made after the period of limitation has already expired, it does not revive the limitation period unless specific legal provisions apply. In normal circumstances, only acknowledgments made within the original limitation period restart the clock for a fresh period.
• Sampuran Singh v. Niranjan Kaur (1999) The Supreme Court clarified that acknowledgement must occur within the limitation period to extend it. Any acknowledgement made after the expiration of the limitation period doesn't revive the debt, thereby reinforcing the importance of timely acknowledgement.

The correct answer is Option 3

Key Points

•  In ICICI Bank Ltd v. Trishla Apparels Pvt Ltd (2015), the Madras High Court emphasized that the court is duty-bound to dismiss suits barred by time, even if the opposing party does not raise the plea.
• This underscores the court's obligation to uphold the principle of limitation and dismiss suits that exceed the prescribed time limit, regardless of whether the opposing party raises the issue.
• Therefore, option C accurately reflects the emphasis made by the Madras High Court in this case.

The correct answer is Option 1

Key Points

•  In Craft Centre v. Koncherry Coir Factories (1990), the Kerala High Court emphasized that the plaintiff has the duty to convince the Court that the suit is within the limitation period.
• Additionally, if the suit is out of time and the plaintiff relies on acknowledgments to save the limitations, they must plead or prove them if denied.
• Furthermore, the court held that the provision of Section 3 regarding limitation is absolute and mandatory.
• If a suit is barred by time, the court is under a duty to dismiss it, even at the appellate stage, irrespective of whether the issue of limitation was raised.
• Therefore, option A accurately reflects the emphasis made by the Kerala High Court in this case.

The correct answer is Option 2

Key Points In Collector and Authorised Chief Settlement Commissioner v. Darshan Singh and others (AIR 1999), the court held that the non-availability of the case file to the State counsel or Panel lawyer is not considered a valid ground for condonation of inordinate delay. This means that the absence of the case file does not justify an extended delay in legal proceedings. Therefore, option B accurately reflects the stance taken by the court in this case.

The correct answer is Option 1.

Key Points

• Section 23 deals with suits for compensation for acts that do not give rise to a cause of action unless some specific injury actually results.
• Nature of the Suit:
  • This section applies to suits for compensation for acts that do not immediately give rise to a cause of action.
• Specific Injury Requirement:
  • For such acts, a cause of action arises only when a specific injury resulting from the act occurs.
• Computation of Period:
  • The period of limitation for filing a suit for compensation begins from the time when the injury resulting from the act actually occurs, not from the time when the act causing the injury took place.
• Example:
  • For instance, if exposure to a harmful substance eventually leads to illness, the period of limitation for filing a suit for compensation would begin from the time when the illness resulting from the exposure actually occurs, not from the time when the exposure happened.

The correct answer is Option 3. 

Key Points

• Section 27 of the Limitation Act states that when the limited period for initiating a suit for possession of any property expires without the person taking legal action, their right to the property is extinguished.
• Limited Period for Instituting a Suit:
  • There is a specific time limit within which a person must file a lawsuit to claim possession of a property.
• Extinguishment of Right:
  • If the person fails to file the suit within the prescribed time limit, their right to the property is extinguished.
• Consequence:
  • Once the period expires, the person loses their legal right to claim possession of the property through a lawsuit.
• Section 27 of the Limitation Act ensures that individuals cannot indefinitely delay or avoid legal action to claim possession of a property by setting a time limit within which they must initiate the suit, failing which their right to the property is lost.

The correct answer is Option 2.

Key Points

• Section 26 of the Limitation Act deals with the 'exclusion in favour of reversioner of serivent tenement'.
• Easement: An easement is a right to use someone else's land for a specific purpose, such as a right of way or a right to light.
• Computation of Period:
  • If land or water, from which an easement has been enjoyed, is held under an interest for life or in terms of years exceeding three years from the granting thereof,
  • The time during which the easement was enjoyed during the continuance of such interest or term will be excluded from the computation of the period of twenty years.
• Claim Resistance:
  • ​If the claim for the easement is resisted by the person entitled to the land or water within three years after the determination of such interest or term,
  • The time during which the easement was enjoyed during the continuance of such interest or term will be excluded from the computation of the twenty-year period.
