Explanation

The correct option is A: after six months from the date of dispossession.

This is because Section 6 of the Specific Relief Act, 1963 states that a person who is dispossessed of immovable property without his consent and without due course of law can recover possession by suit, but such a suit must be brought within six months from the date of dispossession. This is a statutory limitation period that cannot be extended or waived. If the suit is not filed within six months, the person loses his right to recover possession and has to rely on his title to the property, if any.
