The motion shall be made within a reasonable time, and for reasons (1), (2), (3) and (6) not more than one (1) year after the judgment, order, or proceeding was entered or taken. A motion under this subdivision (b) does not affect the finality of a judgment or suspend its operation. This rule does not limit the power of a court to entertain an independent action to relieve a party from a judgment, order, or proceeding, or to set aside a judgment for fraud upon the court. The procedure for obtaining any relief from judgment shall be by motion as prescribed in these rules or by an independent action.
