Section 29 of LA : Section 29: Savings

(1) Nothing in this Act shall affect section 25 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872 (9 of 1872).

(2) Where any special or local law prescribes for any suit, appeal or application a period of limitation different from the period prescribed by the Schedule, the provisions of section 3 shall apply as if such period were the period prescribed by the Schedule and for the purpose of determining any period of limitation prescribed for any suit, appeal or application by any special or local law, the provisions contained in sections 4 to 24 (inclusive) shall apply only in so far as, and to the extent to which, they are not expressly excluded by such special or local law.

(3) Save as otherwise provided in any law for the time being in force with respect to marriage and divorce, nothing in this Act shall apply to any suit or other proceeding under any such law.

(4) Sections 25 and 26 and the definition of "easement" in section 2 shall not apply to cases arising in the territories to which the Indian Easements Act, 1882 (5 of 1882), may for the time being extend.

(1) This law (The Limitation Act, 1963) does not change anything in section 25 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872.

(2) If a specific local law sets a time limit for filing a lawsuit, appeal, or application that is different from the time limit set in this Act, then the rules of this Act will apply as if the local law's time limit was part of this Act. However, the sections 4 to 24 of this Act will only apply to the time limits set by the local law if the local law does not specifically say they don't apply.

(3) Unless there is another law that specifically says something different about marriage and divorce, this Act does not apply to lawsuits or proceedings under such laws.

(4) Sections 25 and 26 of this Act, and the definition of "easement" in section 2, do not apply to places where the Indian Easements Act, 1882, is in effect.

Imagine a scenario where a state law sets a specific time limit of 3 years for filing a property dispute case, which is different from the time limit prescribed by the Limitation Act, 1963. According to Section 29(2) of the Limitation Act, the state law's time limit will apply to the property dispute case. However, the provisions of the Limitation Act regarding how to calculate the time limit, such as including grace periods for filing after the end of the year (Section 4) or excluding the time during which the courts are closed (Section 4 to 24), will still apply unless the state law explicitly states otherwise.
