Civil Court Practice And Procedure

Civil Court Practice and Procedure is a comprehensive practitioner manual that organizes civil litigation into actionable steps, from case intake to final appeal. The book opens with jurisdiction and limitation fundamentals, valuation and court-fee rules, then explains plaint drafting, written statements, discovery, interim applications and evidence management. Separate, detailed chapters address interim relief (injunctions, stays, Mareva orders), summary procedures, trial conduct (examination-in-chief, cross-examination, documentary proof), and the law of admissions, confessions and electronic evidence. A robust section on execution covers decree types, attachment procedures, sale of attached property and set-aside applications. Appellate and revision practice is explained with timelines, grounds of appeal, drafting of memoranda and practice tips for hearings. Each chapter contains: concise statutory exposition, leading-case summaries, practical drafting templates (plaint, WS, injunction petitions, evidence lists, appeals), step-by-step checklists and flowcharts to streamline court work. Special features include templates for pleadings and affidavits, an evidence-preservation checklist, sample clarification notices for service, and an index of common procedural objections with suggested responses. This edition emphasises procedural compliance, risk-avoidance drafting and strategic use of interlocutory remedies, making it indispensable for litigators, tribunals, district judges and law students preparing for practice or exams.
