A telegram cannot constitute a sufficient acknowledgment.

Acknowledgment must be in respect of the particular property or right claimed in the suit or application

Explanation:

Payment of sum of money towards the debt is sufficient under Sec. 18 if such payment is intended as an acknowledgment of debt.

Section 18 talks about written and signed acknowledgement in respect of any property or right. Therefore, payment of sum of money towards the debt is not suffiecient under section 18.

Bare provision of section 18 is as follows:
18. Effect of acknowledgment in writing.—(1) Where, before the expiration of the prescribed period for a suit or application in respect of any property or right, an acknowledgment of liability in respect of such property or right has been made in writing signed by the party against whom such property or right is claimed, or by any person through whom he derives his title or liability, a fresh period of limitation shall be computed from the time when the acknowledgment was so signed.
