时效不适用于有关资产追回的刑事诉讼或民事诉讼。但一再拖延起诉程序的启 动，可能构成对法律的嘲弄（共和国诉总检察长和其他三人单方面 Kamlesh Mansuklal Damji Pattni (JR)，2012 年第 305 号杂项申请）。法院在逐案基础上考 虑情况。
The limitations period does not apply to criminal proceedings or civil proceedings for the recovery of assets. However, inordinate delay in commencing prosecution proceedings may constitute a travesty of justice (Republic vs. Attorney General & 3 Others, ex-parte Kamlesh Mansuklal Damji Pattni (JR), Miscellaneous Application No. 305 of 2012). The courts look at the circumstances on a case-by-case basis.
