7 Principle of Limitation/Laches

1. Limitation (the statutory bar): the time-limits for suits-and-prosecutions — the right's enforcement barred by time (the remedy extinguished, not the right: the limitation's doctrine); the Nepali frame: the codes' limitation schedules (the contract suits' short years — Contract-I's two-year point, this semester; the property-and-family suits' periods; the criminal prosecution's limitation tiers-and-the serious-crimes' imprescriptibility); the commencement (the cause's accrual; the fraud-and-concealment's discovery rule); the extension-and-acknowledgment (the part-payment's-and-rasid's resetting; the absence-and-minority disabilities); the effect (the time-barred suit's dismissal — a jurisdictional defense to plead);2. Laches (the equitable bar): the writ-side doctrine — the unreasonable delay defeating the discretionary remedies (the vigilantibus non dormientibus — equity aids the vigilant); the Nepali writ practice (the stale petitions' dismissal — Kallu Tharu's companion lesson: the writ's untimeliness-and-wrong-channel combined); the laches-vs-limitation distinction (the fixed- statute vs. the circumstances' equity);3. The policy: the evidence's decay; the repose-and-certainty; the diligence's incentive — and the critique (the limitation's injustice-edge: the vested-right's statutory death; the imprescriptibility's counter-trend (the grave crimes)).
