Interim relief
A civil suit can take years. Temporary injunctions, attachment before judgment and the appointment of a receiver protect your position while it is decided, and are often where a case is effectively won.
Limitation
Every civil claim has a limitation period under the Limitation Act, 1963, commonly three years for money claims and contracts. A suit filed late is dismissed regardless of merit, so the dates should be checked at the first consultation.
Frequently asked questions
What is the limitation period for a civil suit?
It depends on the claim. Under the Limitation Act, 1963, many money and contract claims must be filed within three years. A suit filed late is dismissed regardless of merit.
Can the court protect my position while the suit is pending?
Yes. Temporary injunctions, attachment before judgment and the appointment of a receiver are available where the facts justify them.
I have won a decree but the other side will not comply. What next?
File for execution of the decree. The executing court can order attachment and sale of property, delivery of possession or arrest in suitable cases.
