merely because there is a totalling mistake does not mean that whole statement cannot be relied upon . it can be a genuine mistake and in suit filed it can be clarified that actual amount is x amount and not y as claimed

Time barred acknowledgment gives right to the plaintiff to sue such defendant and totaling is not a big issue.

Am also agree with expert's opinion. Its not a big issue.. Even its court's discretion that its can be admit or omit.. discretion that its can be admit or omit..

logic of acknowledgemt itself lies in mistakes committed...better commit mistake cleverly
Advocate Bhartesh goyal (Expert) 21 September 2011
As per sec 18 0f Limitation Act acknowledgment must be in writing and within the period of limitation else it will be treated as time barred.in my opinion it's time barred and not valid in eye of law.
