<h1>Section 17 of the Limitation Act, 1963: Limitation Periods Affected by Fraud or Mistake in Legal Suits and Applications.</h1> Section 17 of the Limitation Act, 1963, addresses the effect of fraud or mistake on the computation of limitation periods for suits or applications. If a suit or application is based on fraud or mistake, or if a necessary document is fraudulently concealed, the limitation period does not begin until the fraud or mistake is discovered or could have been discovered with reasonable diligence. However, this provision does not apply if the property affected by fraud, mistake, or concealment was purchased for valuable consideration by someone unaware of the fraud or mistake. Additionally, if a judgment-debtor prevents execution by fraud or force, the court may extend the limitation period if applied for within one year of discovering the fraud or cessation of force.
