Section 29 of LA : Section 29: Savings

Explanation using Example

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.
