CPC Case law query 2

A borrowed a sum of money from B with a promise to return on 1st Jan, 2000.

On 1st Jan, 2000, A paid the interest to B and requested to give him one more year for repayment.

A has been making a similar request to B every year.

Can B file the suit in 2008??

Is payment of interest every year, an acknowledgement of the claim??

The reply is in the affirmative,provided the date on which the interest  paid / received is endorsed on the instrument,the borrower is liable to be sued within THREE years from date of last such endorsement of interest.

Dear Ms. Pooja,

ofcourse the answer is in affirmative.

We have to take in to consideration that cause of action for any litigation arises when one of the party renounces to fulfill its legal obligation.

So if we have to calculate the Limitation period under Limitation Act then it will be Calculated from the date of renounciation of Debtor to repay the Loan amount and not from the date of Loan as you have mentioned that the time for remitting the Loan is extended at the Request of Debtor(Then also it is in limitation).

Hence the Limitation and Cause of Action for suit starts from your demand for payment and renounciation on the part of Debtor.

Regards,

Saquib
