What is the period of limitation prescribed in the Limitation Act, 1963 to institute a suit by a mortgagor to recover possession of immovable property mortgaged?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Article 61(a) of the Limitation Act, 1963 gives a mortgagor 30 years to sue to redeem or recover possession of mortgaged immovable property. The period begins when the right to redeem or recover possession accrues, so it should not automatically be counted from the original mortgage date. A mortgagee's suit to enforce the secured payment is a different remedy governed by Article 62.
