Explanation

Under Article 60(1) of the Schedule to the Limitation Act, 1963, a suit by a ward (upon attaining majority) to set aside a transfer of property made by their guardian must be filed within three years. The limitation period begins when the ward attains majority, not from the date of transfer or other events. This is because during minority, the ward lacks legal capacity to challenge the guardian's actions. The clock only starts when the disability (minority) ends and the ward gains full legal capacity to sue. Serving notice on the possessor or refusal to hand over possession are irrelevant starting points for calculating this specific limitation period.
