Reminders do not extend limitation period nor the fact the debt remained outstanding: Delhi High Court

16 November 2021 | Renewable Energy Systems Limited v. Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited | OMP (Comm.) 524 of 2019 | Vibhu Bakhru J | Delhi High Court | 2021 SCC OnLine Del 4992

The High Court has upheld an award that had rejected the claims are limitation-barred.

The court rejected the argument that the cause of action was a continuing one. He reasoned that “the fact that a debt has remained outstanding, does not extend the period of limitation.”

Also, mere reminders did not extend the period either [citing Geo Miller 2019 SCC OnLine SC 1137].
