The Supreme Court (SC) has said that the relaxation granted on the limitation period for filing court cases in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic would come to an end on October 2.

The SC ordered that period from March 15 last year till October 2 this year shall stand excluded from computing the period of limitation. Also, in cases where the limitation would have expired during the period between March 15, 2020 till October 2, 2021, all persons shall have a limitation period of 90 days from October 3, 2021 or the balance period originally left, whichever is longer.
