Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

The ordinary limitation period for seeking review is thirty days from the decree or order. The Limitation Act assigns this period specifically to review applications before courts other than the Supreme Court.

Why not "60 days of the judgment/order."? Sixty days is not the period assigned to an ordinary review application. Although the limitation schedule uses sixty days for some other proceedings, including certain applications connected with appeals, that duration cannot be transferred to review merely because both concern an existing judicial decision.

Why not "90 days of the judgment/order."? Ninety days confuses review with a different procedural remedy. The limitation schedule separately provides a ninety day period for certain revision applications, whereas review has its own shorter period; identifying the remedy named in the question therefore rules out this duration.

Why not "120 days of the judgment/order."? One hundred twenty days has no basis in the ordinary statutory entry governing review applications. The existence of longer periods for other legal procedures does not extend the review period, which must be taken from the specific limitation provision applicable to that remedy.
