Any suit filed after the prescribed period is affected by the Limitation law. It reduces the long slumber of unnecessary hassle and rights misused by any civilian.

  • Several stages were made to establish the Statutory Law. The first Limitation Act was established in India in 1859. The final Limitation Act was entrenched in 1963.
