• B. Article 92
• C. Article 93
• D. Article 94
• E. None of the above.

Answer 1

Answer: (E)

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.
