Explanation:

A document in which the mortgagee merely acknowledges having received possession of the mortgaged land. This clearly does not show any acknowledgement of any liability in respect of the property.

According to Section 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.
