<h1>Section 21 Limitation Act: New Party Joins Suit Date of Inclusion; Good Faith Mistake May Alter Start Date</h1> Section 21 of the Limitation Act, 1963, addresses the effect of substituting or adding a new plaintiff or defendant in a lawsuit. When a new party is added, the suit is considered to have been initiated for them on the date they were included. However, if the omission of the new party was due to a good faith mistake, the court may allow the suit to be deemed initiated on an earlier date. This provision does not apply when parties are added due to the assignment or devolution of interest during the suit or when a plaintiff becomes a defendant or vice versa.
