The limitation period for a suit to recover money generally runs for three years from when the cause of action arises, and since section 5 of the Limitation Act, 1963, which allows condonation of delay, applies only to appeals and applications and not to suits, a suit filed four years after the cause of action arose cannot have its delay condoned.
