Section 19 Limitation Act | Interest Payment Triggers Fresh Limitation Only If Made Within Original 3-Year Period : MP HC Jabalpur

The Madhya Pradesh High Court holds that partial interest payments on loan obligations revive the limitation period under Section 19 only if made within the original three-year window; payments made after expiry do not reset the clock, rendering suits filed years later time-barred. This clarifies a critical threshold for lenders and borrowers in debt recovery cases.
