Mulla The Code of Civil Procedure (3 Volume Set)

Including The Commercial Court, Commercial Division and Commercial Appellate Division of High Court Act, 2015

Description
The celebrated commentary on Code of Civil Procedure by Sir Dinshaw Fardunji Mulla is one of the oldest and longest serving commentary on the civil procedural law in the country The book has received consistent overwhelming response from academicians, professionals, research scholars, judges and students of law. The proposal for revising and updating this legal classic was not only exciting and  adventurous but also an honour for us as it associates us with perhaps one of the greatest running books on civil law ever written. It gives us immense and immeasurable pleasure to revise and update the 20th edition of this book and we hope it will succeed in maintaining the highest level of respect the book has earned over the years. As the last edition of the book was published in 2017-18, we chose to focus more on case law and amendments post that. Therefore, our sweep of case law covered ranges primarily from 2017-18 onwards till April-May 2021. During the process of revision we found that the book missed certain relevant case law and commentaries prior to 2018 as well, so in all fairness and in the interest of readers we deemed it fit to incorporate the missed commentaries and refresh those portions as well. The fact that one of us (Justice Kurian Joseph) retired as a judge of the Supreme Court with practice experience at the bar for many years and another one of us is an advocate on record at the Supreme Court, gave us all a wider view on the subject and helped a us immensely in quick and effective revision of the book. Keeping with the high traditions set by illustrious predecessors, we have tried that this edition contains almost every relevant pronouncement on the instant subject by the Hon'ble Supreme Court and by the Hon'ble High Courts since the preceding revision which was printed and published in 2017-18.
