Key exceptions to the Bar of Limitation include statutory provisions allowing exclusion of time spent obtaining certified copies or pursuing prior proceedings in good faith, discovery-based starting points in cases involving fraud or concealed facts, written acknowledgments or part-payments that restart limitation, disabilities such as minority or incapacity, and discretionary condonation of delay in appeals and applications where “sufficient cause” is proven; skilled lawyers identify these exceptions by first pinpointing the exact article that governs the claim, then scrutinizing the factual timeline for elements that may legally shift, suspend, or reset the clock, such as delayed knowledge, procedural obstacles, or documentary acknowledgments, and they support each exception with meticulous evidence—medical records, correspondence, certified-copy logs, affidavits, prior-case documents, or proof of concealment—while presenting the chronology in a clear, date-linked sequence that shows diligence, absence of negligence, and bona fide conduct, enabling the court to consider the delayed case on substantive justice rather than technical timing.
