In India, a domestic property dispute case is not necessarily time-barred before the court of law. However, the limitation period for filing a suit for specific reliefs like partition, specific performance, and injunction etc. is 3 years from the date on which the cause of action arises, which is the date when the right to file the suit accrues.
It is important to note that the Limitation Act, 1963 provides the time limit within which a suit, appeal or application must be filed. If the suit is filed after the prescribed time limit, the court may dismiss the case on the grounds of limitation.
However, it’s worth noting that the Limitation Act also has provisions for extending the limitation period under certain circumstances, like when the plaintiff was a minor, or when the defendant was out of India and the plaintiff was not aware of the defendant’s whereabouts.
It is also worth noting that the Limitation Act does not apply to certain types of cases, such as criminal cases or cases for the recovery of immovable property.
It is important to note that the laws related to property disputes are complex and can be interpreted in different ways. It is advisable to seek legal advice from a qualified lawyer to understand how these laws apply to your specific situation and the best course of action.
