Question

Which of the following sections of the Limitation Act, 1963, prescribes the limitation period for filing a suit for recovery of movable property?

Hint:

For limitation periods, always refer to the Schedule of the Act. For recovery of movable property, the key articles are 68 and 69, both of which prescribe a 3-year limitation period.

Answer 1

This question is flawed as the options provided are incorrect. The limitation period for suits relating to movable property is primarily governed by Articles 68 and 69 in the Schedule to the Limitation Act, 1963. \[\begin{array}{rl} \bullet & \text{**Article 68:** For recovery of specific movable property lost, or acquired by theft, or dishonest misappropriation or conversion. The limitation period is **3 years** from when the person having the right to the possession of the property first learns in whose possession it is.} \\ \bullet & \text{**Article 69:** For recovery of any other specific movable property. The limitation period is **3 years** from when the property is wrongfully taken.} \\ \end{array}\] Article 91, listed in the options, deals with suits to cancel or set aside an instrument, not the recovery of movable property.
