What are the legal provisions on the time limit for public prosecution of government information?

1. What are the legal provisions on the time limit for public prosecution of government information? Article 46 of China's Administrative Procedure Law stipulates that if a citizen, legal person or other organization brings a lawsuit directly to the people's court, it shall bring a lawsuit within 6 months from the date of knowing that it has made a specific administrative act. Administrative litigation only has the delay of the prosecution period, and there is no interruption of the prosecution period. Only when an administrative lawsuit is filed within the time limit for prosecution, the people's court has the right to conduct judicial review. The people's court can only rule that an administrative case prosecuted beyond the time limit for prosecution will not be accepted. If it is not ascertained at the time of filing the case, but it is ascertained during the trial that the time limit for prosecution has expired, the people's court shall rule to dismiss the prosecution. Second, the difference between the time limit for prosecution in administrative litigation and the limitation of action 1. The nature of the time limit for prosecution is different: the time limit for prosecution is the legal requirement of litigation, that is, the legal condition for prosecution to be accepted by the court, and it is a legal system of litigation procedure stipulated by the administrative litigation law; The effectiveness of litigation is an important element of well-founded litigation, that is, the premise that the plaintiff's claim can be established. Limitation of action: Limitation of action belongs to the civil substantive legal system and is stipulated in the General Principles of Civil Law. 2. The time limit for prosecution for legislative purposes is different: The reason why the Administrative Procedure Law sets the time limit for prosecution is to urge the counterpart to exercise their rights as soon as possible, improve the efficiency of law enforcement by administrative organs, and maintain the stability of administrative order. If the counterpart is allowed to apply for relief for administrative acts at any time, it will inevitably make administrative acts in a state of being questioned and denied, which will not only affect administrative efficiency, but also bring confusion to administrative order. Limitation of action: the limitation of action is stipulated in the civil substantive law, with the purpose of making the original obligee lose his rights after the statutory period, legalizing the long-standing factual state, which is conducive to the stability of economic order and legal order. 3. The starting time is different from the time limit for prosecution: the time limit for prosecution in administrative litigation is calculated from the date when the relative person knows or should know the specific administrative act, adopting objective behavior standards and emphasizing "behavior"; Limitation of action: the starting time of limitation of action is from the day when the parties know or should know that their rights have been infringed, and the subjective perception of rights by the parties is taken as the standard, emphasizing "rights". The period of prosecution for a specific administrative act of government information disclosure is six months, that is, prosecution can be carried out within six months from the date of making it.
