Under Limitation Act, 1963, the period of limitation for a suit by landlord to recover possession from a tenant after determination of tenancy is

A. Thirty years

B. Twelve years

C. Three years

D. One year

Answer: Option C

Solution (By Examveda Team)

The Limitation Act, 1963 provides different limitation periods for various types of legal suits.

In the case of a landlord filing a suit to recover possession of property from a tenant after the tenancy has been determined, Article 67 of the Schedule applies.

According to Article 67, the limitation period is three years from the date of the determination of the tenancy.

This means that once the tenancy ends—either through notice, expiry of the term, or legal termination—the landlord has a maximum of three years to initiate legal action to regain possession.

The twelve-year period mentioned under other articles applies to adverse possession or recovery from unlawful occupiers, not tenants.

Therefore, the correct answer is three years, and Option C is legally accurate.
