Civil Lawyers: common questions
What is the limitation period for a recovery suit?
Most money recovery suits must be filed within three years from the date the amount became due, under the Limitation Act, 1963.
Which court will hear my civil case in India?
This depends on the value of the claim and where the cause of action arose. Most suits start in the civil courts at the local district courts. High-value commercial matters may go to commercial courts.
Is sending a legal notice necessary?
Not always legally mandatory, but it often prompts settlement and is mandatory in some cases, such as suits against the government.
