Quick Summary

The Supreme Court of India has ruled that the period between 15th March 2020 and 14th March 2021 will be excluded when calculating the limitation period for filing legal cases. This means that any remaining time for filing a case as of 15th March 2020 will be available from 15th March 2021. For cases where the deadline fell within this excluded period, individuals will have 90 days from 15th March 2021 to file, or a longer period if more time was originally available.
