Description
It's a matter of immense pleasure to present revised edition of this authoritative works on the Code of Civil Procedure. The book contains a Section-wise discussion of the topic of law undertaken and with all interconnected topics covered by various Sections as well as by the Orders have been discussed at one spot just to relax our esteemed readers from the burden of gathering points of law on the same topic as spread into various Sections and Orders of the statute. All changes brought about by the Commercial Courts Act, 2015 as amended in year 2018, have also been nicely reflected at the relevant places in this Edition. In order to accelerate economic growth and to improve the international image of our justice delivery system, an Ordinance was promulgated on 23rd October, 2015, to provide for setting up Commercial Courts and to make the necessary amendments to the CPC in its application to such Courts with the ultimate object of reducing delay in disposal of suits involving commercial disputes. In year 2018, several important changes have been done in the Commercial Court Act, 2015, since such changes became necessary as the global economic environment had increased competitiveness. The Act has also made several amendments to various provisions of the CPC in so far as these provisions apply to any suit in respect of a commercial dispute of the specified value. The provision of the Commercial Courts Act have to be interpreted in aliteral manner. The words "Civil proceedings" as used in Article 133 of the Constitution of India cover all proceedings which directly affect civil rights. There is no ground for restricting the expression "Civil proceedings" only to those proceedings which arise out of civil suits or proceedings which are tried as civil suits nor is there any rational basis for excluding from its purview proceedings instituted
and tried in the High Court in exercise of its jurisdiction under Article 226, Constitution of India, where the party aggrieved seeks relief against infringement of civil rights by authorities purporting to act in exercise of the powers conferred upon them by revenue statutes.
