Boundary Wall Dispute: Strongest Agreement and Limitation Protection


09-Nov-2026 (In Civil Law)
My neighbour, Deb Roy, promised before two witnesses to reconstruct our damaged boundary wall but has failed for over two years. Which of my four documents (1) is strongest and most enforceable to secure reconstruction entirely at her expense within 1–2 months, without litigation? (4) Which limitation provision and starting date apply under the Limitation Act, 1963? Is my estimated 6-7-months (take into account that she promised verbally 2+ years back) can I protect my rights before expiry?

Dear Client, In the absence of written promise/assurance of your neighbour even if it is made before two witnesses and if the witnesses failed to support your claim before the court, there is very little chance to get any relief either through litigation or without litigation. The limitation period for civil suit is there years from the date of cause of action, i.e, from the date or time, promisor fails to fulfill his promise. However, if you find yourself eligible for free legal aid, you can approach the State Legal Services Authority or Dist. Legal Services Authority to resolve the issue through the process of mediation or alternate dispute resolution(ADR) process. If required, consult with an Advocate for tailored advice and steps to navigate the issue in the right way.
