Law of Limitation and Prescription Reprint-2026

Law of Limitation and Prescription is a detailed and authoritative treatise on the principles governing limitation periods and the doctrine of prescription under Indian law. The book provides a section-wise and concept-based analysis of the Limitation Act, 1963, explaining how time limits affect the enforceability of legal rights and remedies. It covers critical topics such as computation of limitation, exclusion and extension of time, acknowledgment of liability, continuing causes of action, condonation of delay, and the effect of fraud or mistake. The doctrine of prescription, including adverse possession, extinction of rights, and acquisition of title by lapse of time, is examined with clarity and judicial insight. Supported by leading Supreme Court and High Court decisions, the book bridges statutory interpretation with procedural application across civil suits, appeals, writs, and special statutes. Its practical approach assists practitioners in identifying limitation issues at every stage of litigation, reducing procedural errors and ensuring effective legal strategy.
