Section 7:
Disability of one of several persons.
Where one of several persons jointly entitled to institute a
suit or make an application for the execution of a decree is under any such disability, and a discharge can
be given without the concurrence of such person, time will run against them all; but, where no such
discharge can be given, time will not run as against any of them until one of them becomes capable of
giving such discharge without the concurrence of the others or until the disability has ceased.
Explanation I.—This section applies to a discharge from every kind of liability, including a liability
in respect of any immovable property.
Explanation II.—For the purposes of this section, the Manager of a Hindu undivided family governed
by the Mitakshara law shall be deemed to be capable of giving a discharge without the concurrence of the
other members of the family only if he is in management of the joint family property.
