The limitation prescribed for a suit for specific performance of a contract as per Article 54 of the Schedule to the Limitation Act, 1963 is three years. The time from which the period begins to run is the date fixed for the performance or, if no such date is fixed, when the plaintiff has notice that the performance is refused. Hence you need to prove this factual aspect first.
