The Code of Civil Procedure, 1908

The Code of Civil Procedure (CPC) is a comprehensive legislation that governs the procedures and practices followed by civil courts in India. It was enacted in 1908 and has undergone several amendments since then. The act lays down the rules and procedures that must be followed by courts while hearing civil suits, execution of decrees, and appeals. It also lays down the rules of jurisdiction, the powers of courts, and the processes for enforcing judgments. The CPC is considered to be one of the most significant pieces of legislation in India, as it governs the civil justice system in the country.
