if you want to know the limitation period for criminal sections ask your lawyer. Without stating the facts you put this query as an examination paper to this forum members. the limitation period in my view, (a) six months, if the offence is punishable with a fine only. (b) one year, if the offence is punishable with imprisonment for a term not exceeding one year; (c) three years, if the offence is punishable with imprisonment for a term exceeding one year but not exceeding three years.

Are you seeking clarification about limitation to lodge a criminal complaint or for the disposal of the criminal case.
If it is former then it is one year.
