Extension of limitation period due to continuing tort

Ans: 

Section 23 in The Limitation Act, 1963

Suits for compensation for acts not actionable without special damage.—In the case of a suit for compensation for an act which does not give rise to a cause of action unless some specific injury actually results therefrom, the period of limitation shall be computed from the time when the injury results.
Continuing tort.-Continuing tort means a wrongful act which produces a state of affairs, every moment's continuance of which is a new wrong (i.e., which is a continuing source of injury) and is of such a nature as render the does of it responsible for the continuance. Where the wrongful act does not produce such a state of affairs but is a fleeting act like a slander uttered or a slap on the cheek, it is not a continuing tort.
A husband or wife has a right to the society of his or her spouse. The duty of the latter is a continuing duty inasmuch as it is a duty to continue to give society. A breach of this obligation is a continuing tort within the meaning of this section and time will begin to run at every moment of the time during which the society is withheld.

(Rao Raja Sir Seth Hukum Chand v. Maharaj Bahadur Singh, A.I.R. 1933 P.C. 193).

Disturbance of the right of worship is a continuous tort. Thus, where the plaintiffs (Digamber Jains) had been worshipping certain charans (footprints) on the Parasnath hill, but the defendants (Swetamber Jains) removed those charans and replaced them by charans of a different type abnoxious to the plaintiffs, it was held that the action of the defendants was a continuing wrong (tort) in respect of which a fresh period of limitation began to run every moment of the day on which the wrong continued.
