The limitation period for a suit by a person dispossessed of immoveable property is
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
Under section 6 of the Specific Relief Act, 1963, a person dispossessed of immovable property without his consent otherwise than in due course of law may sue to recover possession, but no such suit lies after six months from the date of dispossession. So the period is "Within six months from the date of dispossession"; it runs from the dispossession, not from when the person learns of it, and twelve months is not the period. A suit based on title may still be brought within the twelve years allowed by the Limitation Act.
