THE CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE, 1908

The Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 (CPC), is a procedural law in India that governs the conduct of civil litigation. It provides the framework for filing suits, presenting evidence, and enforcing judgments. The CPC ensures uniformity in legal proceedings and consists of two parts: the body of the code containing 158 sections and the First Schedule with orders and rules. It applies to all civil courts and covers jurisdiction, pleadings, appeals, and execution of decrees. Amendments over time have improved efficiency and accessibility. The CPC aims to provide justice by outlining fair procedures for resolving disputes in civil matters.
