P.C. are taken into consideration as it is, the period of limitation shall be three years only. The complaint thus having been filed on 18th April, 1992 is hopelessly time barred.2. It is for this reason that in the Courts below submissions were made that it be treated as continuing offence. The point has not found favour with either of the two Courts. The result was that the learned Magistrate dismissed the complaint on the ground of limitation by his order dated 7-3-1995, page 15.
