For filing a suit against the Govt or public servant the sec 80 cpc makes it mandatory to give 80 days notice to it unless some urgency is involved. However it does not mean expiry of two clear months.

Notice do not extent the limitation available to file the suit. If limitation to file the suit is going to expire from the day of accrual of cause of action merely mandatory notice under section 80 cpc cannot extend it. So far as general limitation from the date of serving of legal notice is concerned, it starts from the day of receipt till 60 calender days.
