Section 10 of the Limitation Act, 1963 excludes a particular class of suits from the bar of limitation. Which class is excluded?
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D.
1. Section 10 of the Limitation Act, 1963 carves out a specific exception for **suits against trustees and their representatives**.
2. The ICSI text records: '**Section 10 EXCLUDES suits against trustees and their representatives from the purview of the Act.** In order to invoke the application of Section 10 the property must be vested in a trustee or trustees for a specific-purpose.'
3. So such suits are NOT barred by limitation under the Act — the trustee's duty to follow the trust property is enforceable irrespective of the lapse of time.
4. Options C and D are NOT covered by Section 10; they would be governed by the relevant articles of the Schedule.
