other than those provided under Chapter XXXVI (Section 467 to 473), there are no limitation prescribed for initiating a criminal action.

Dear Mr Nitin,

Theoretically there is no limitation for serious offences however as you stated the offence had occurred 25 years ago. The complainant or informant will have to justify the delay.
