History[edit]
To give uniformity to Civil Procedure, Legislative Council of India,
enacted Code of Civil Procedure, 1858, which received the assent
of Governor-General on 23 March 1859. The Code however, was
not applicable to the Supreme Court in the Presidency Towns and
to the Presidency Small Cause Courts. It did not meet the
challenges and was replaced by Code of Civil Procedure Code,
1877. But still it did not fulfill the requirements of time and large
amendments were introduced. In 1882, the Code of Civil
Procedure, 1882 was introduced. With passing of time it is felt that it
needed flexibility for timeliness and effectiveness. To meet these
problems Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 was enacted. Though it
has been amended number of times it has withstood the test of
time.[1]
