'A' borrowed a sum of money from 'B', The last date for filing the suit falls on a Sunday. On Monday, the next day, 'A' gives a written acknowledgement to 'B'. In this case
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
Under s.4 of the Limitation Act, 1963, where the prescribed period expires on a day the court is closed, the suit may be instituted on the day the court reopens, so "'B' should file the suit on Monday". The acknowledgement gives no fresh period because s.18 requires it to be made before expiry of the prescribed period, which ended on Sunday.
