For the purpose of the Limitation Act, 1963, which of the following claim(s) shall be treated as a separate suit?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Section 3(2)(b) treats both a set-off and a counterclaim as separate suits for limitation. It deems the set-off instituted on the date of the original suit and the counterclaim on the date the counterclaim is made in court. Those different deemed dates do not change that both are separate suits for this purpose.
