14. Exclusion of time of proceeding bonafide in court without jurisdiction.
(1) In computing the period of limitation for any suit the time during which
the plaintiff has been prosecuting with due diligence another civil
proceeding, whether in a court of first instance or of appeal or revision,
against the defendant shall be excluded, where the proceeding relates to
the same matter in issue and is prosecuted in good faith in a court which,
from defect of jurisdiction or other cause of a like nature, is unable to
entertain it.
(2) In computing the period of limitation for any application, the time during
which the applicant has been prosecuting with due diligence another civil
proceeding, whether in a court of first instance or of appeal or revision,
against the same party for the same relief shall be excluded, where such
proceeding is prosecuted in good faith in a court which, from defect of
jurisdiction or other cause of a like nature, is unable to entertain it.
(3) Notwithstanding anything contained in rule 2 of Order XXIII of the Code
of Civil Procedure, 1908 (5 of 1908 ), the provisions of sub- section (1) shall
apply in relation to a fresh suit instituted on permission granted by the court
under rule 1 of that Order, where such permission is granted on the ground
that the first suit must fail by reason of a defect in the jurisdiction of the court
or other cause of a like nature."
