CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE 1908
The Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 (CPC) forms the procedural foundation of civil litigation in India. For LLB students, a clear understanding of the CPC is essential for semester examinations as well as for developing practical legal reasoning. This CPC category page is designed as an exam-oriented academic resource that explains civil procedure in a simplified and structured manner.
The CPC does not determine substantive rights; instead, it prescribes the procedure through which civil rights are enforced by courts. Important procedural areas such as institution of suits, jurisdiction, pleadings, appearance of parties, interim reliefs, execution of decrees, and appeals are governed by the Code. Due to its technical language and wide scope across sections and orders, students often find CPC challenging. These notes aim to simplify that complexity by presenting concepts logically and clearly.
The notes published under this category are prepared specifically for LLB semester exams and academic understanding. Each topic explains the relevant sections, orders, and procedural principles, supported by illustrations wherever required. Frequently examined doctrines such as res judicata, res sub judice, rejection of plaint, temporary injunctions, and execution proceedings are covered in a manner that helps students write structured and precise answers.
Where necessary, leading case laws are referred to show how courts interpret and apply procedural provisions in practice. The CPC is also closely connected with other civil law statutes such as the Limitation Act, 1963 and the Specific Relief Act, 1963, and internal links are provided to encourage a comprehensive understanding of civil procedural law.
Students are advised to use these CPC notes along with the bare act for effective preparation and conceptual clarity.
