Explanation using Example

Example 1:

Ravi, an indigent person, files a lawsuit against his landlord for wrongful eviction. The court grants him permission to sue without paying the court fees due to his financial condition. However, Ravi fails to pay the postal charges required to serve the summons to the landlord. As a result, the summons is not served, and the case cannot proceed. According to Rule 11 of the Code of Civil Procedure 1908, the court orders Ravi to pay the court fees that he would have been required to pay if he had not been permitted to sue as an indigent person.

Example 2:

Meena, an indigent widow, files a suit against a company for not paying her deceased husband's insurance claim. The court allows her to file the suit without paying the court fees. On the day of the hearing, Meena does not appear in court, and the suit is dismissed due to her absence. Under Rule 11 of the Code of Civil Procedure 1908, the court orders Meena to pay the court fees that she would have had to pay if she had not been allowed to sue as an indigent person.
