Time limit for civil suit

What is time limit for filing a suit for claiming a sale deed as illegal? 

and

Is any condonation is allowed for the reason that the plaintiff could not get the knowledge of the sale deed?

You will have to file a suit for declaration.  Time limitation is 3 years  from the date of knowledge.  You have to make a cause of action to file this suit.  There wont be any condonation of delay while filing the suit.

Mr. A purchased the property from Mr.B in 1991. Now in 2011, Mr.C (one relative of Mr. B) wants to claim that Mr. A has puchased the property from Mr.B illegally as Mr. B could not transfer the property to any person except his relatives. Is it possible to Mr.C to claim this on saying that he got the knowledge for the sale in 2010.
