A distinction has to be made between a "continuing wrong" and a "recurring wrong". The difference between the two has been clarified in Union of India v. Tarsem Singh MANU/SC/7976/2008 : 2008:INSC:930 : (2008) 8 SCC 648 where it has been held that a "continuing wrong" is when the injury itself persists, whereas a "recurring wrong" is when a fresh cause of action arises each time.
