The provision relating to Bar of limitation is contained in Section

Solution (By Examveda Team)

The correct option is "Section 3 of the Limitation Act".

The Bar of limitation is specifically provided under Section 3 of the Limitation Act, 1963.

This section mandates that every suit, appeal, or application filed after the prescribed period of limitation shall be dismissed, even if limitation has not been set up as a defense by the defendant.

The object of this provision is to prevent stale claims from being litigated and to ensure legal certainty by requiring parties to exercise their rights within the prescribed time limits.

Why not the others?

Section 2 contains definitions, not the bar of limitation.

Section 4 deals with expiry of limitation when the court is closed.

Section 5 provides for extension of prescribed period in certain cases (condonation of delay).

Section 6 relates to legal disability and its effect on limitation.

Therefore, the correct answer is Section 3 of the Limitation Act.
