Extended period of limitation for institution of a suit for specific performance of a contract cannot…

Section 8 of the Limitation Act provides that the extension under sections 6 and 7 for legal disability cannot extend the period for a suit beyond three years from the cessation of the disability or the death of the person affected. So the extended period cannot stretch beyond "3 years". Article 54 separately prescribes the ordinary three-year period for a suit for specific performance.

Current law: The three-year disability-extension cap under section 8 and the ordinary Article 54 period remain.
