The Indian Limitation Act, 1963 provides two distinct mechanisms to address timing issues in legal proceedings: exclusion of time and extension of time. These provisions ensure fairness and prevent technical delays from defeating genuine legal claims.
Exclusion of Time (Sections 12-15)
Exclusion of time refers to specific periods that are not counted when calculating the limitation period for filing suits, appeals, or applications. This operates automatically and does not require court discretion.
