Rule 6 of CPC : Rule 6: Grounds of exemption from limitation law.

Explanation using Example

Example 1:

Rajesh wants to file a lawsuit against his former business partner for breach of contract. The law of limitation for such cases is three years. However, Rajesh is filing the suit four years after the breach occurred. In his plaint, Rajesh mentions that he was suffering from a severe illness for the past year, which prevented him from taking any legal action. He provides medical records as evidence. The court considers this a valid ground for exemption from the limitation law and allows the suit to proceed.

Example 2:

Meena is filing a suit to reclaim her ancestral property, which was illegally occupied by her cousin. The limitation period for such property disputes is twelve years. Meena files the suit fifteen years after the illegal occupation began. In her plaint, she states that she was unaware of the illegal occupation until recently because she was living abroad and had no contact with her family. She provides proof of her residence abroad and lack of communication. The court permits her to claim exemption from the limitation law based on this ground, allowing her case to be heard.
