      D There is fresh period of limitation at every moment after the breach ceases. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E There is fresh period of limitation while the breach continues. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      In the case of aĀ continuing tort , the wrongful act or injury continues over a period of time, rather than being a singular event. According to theĀ Limitation Act, 1963 :

      • Each wrongful actĀ constitutes a fresh cause of action .
      • Therefore, theĀ period of limitation starts anew from the date of each wrongful act .
      • This means aĀ fresh period of limitation runs at every moment Ā as the tort continues.
      Statutory Reference: While the Limitation Act, 1963 does not explicitly define "continuing tort," this principle is well-established under Section 3 (computation of period of limitation) and through judicial interpretation.
