Question and options

Under Article 113 of the Schedule to the Limitation Act, 1963, what is the limitation period for a suit for which no period is provided elsewhere in the Schedule, assuming no applicable special or local law prescribes a different period?

  1. Three years

  2. Five years

  3. Twelve years

  4. Thirty years

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A - Three years

Article 113 prescribes three years from accrual of the right to sue for a suit without another Schedule period, subject to applicable special law. Five years is not the Article 113 period. Twelve years is not the Article 113 period; specific property suits may have their own periods.
