There is a reason that people say “It is best you consult a lawyer on this matter as soon as possible” whenever there has been an injury to a person. It is common knowledge that one cannot file acomplaint on a matter that happened a decade ago, as there is alimitation that is put on a person’s right to file a suit. Suchlimitation is governed by the Limitation Act, 1963. It is the first question that a lawyer faces when filing a lawsuit regarding the same, at what time does the statute of limitations run out? Suchlimitations are put for manifold reasons, the primary one being to encourage promptness in the minds of the public, and to ensure that the suit is brought when it is fresh and the witnesses can accurately remember what exactly had happened. Another reason for doing so is to relieve the defendants of the fear and apprehension of a perpetual law suit.

Another important aspect of litigation is the Specific Relief Act, 1963. This act was brought for remedies for persons whose civil or contractual rights have been violated. It is essentially used when monetary relief is not sufficient. The law prescribes that in an event where the actual damage for not performing the contract cannot be measured or monetary compensation is not adequate, one party can ask the court to direct the other party to fulfil the requirements of the contract. Combined, these two form important ingredients for a good lawyer.
