Limitation 12 or 3 years

hi sir

Plot purchased by registered sale deed in 2009.
Fraud discovered in 2021through a survey report showing that the land shown to you was different from what was in the registered sale deed.
You filed a new civil suit seeking:
- Declaration of title(ownership / invalidity of wrong descripttion),
- Rectification of boundaries (correction of sale deed / boundaries), and
- recovery of Possession (since the defendant / vendor is in possession).

so please tell me is limitation 12 years or 3 years from discovery of fraud . thank you

Who is you in question.

The period of limitation is three years from the know of the alleged fraud? However, the moot question is, does the facts posted suggest a fraud?

What do you mean by "that the land shown to you was different from what was in the registered sale deed."?

Hi sir thank you for your reply. The limitation for recovery of pocession is 12 years which is main relief. Declaration of title and rectification of boundaries is 3 years which is auxiliary relief. I just know read a judgement so it is 12 years

I am not cancellation of sale deed.

it is for recovery of pocession.
