2.0 Preface/Outline of the Subject

As it is procedural law which puts life into the substantive law by providing a remedy and
justifies the well-known maxim ubi jus ibi remedium that is where there is a right there is a
remedy, it is extremely important to make the students understand the procedural aspects of
the civil law. Be it a matter of contract, property, family dispute or any dispute of civil nature,
the procedure followed by the Indian courts would be the Code of Civil procedure.

The subject Civil Procedure Code and Law of Limitation is divided into two semester and in
this semester the course is designed to acquaint the students with the structure of the civil
judiciary, its powers and jurisdiction, and the significance of various procedural steps stipulated
for trial of civil litigation. The goal of "fair trial" and its structure in adversarial proceedings
will be examined in this course. The nature and significance of pleadings and practical aspects
relating to it are studied. Access to justice particularly for the poor is examined in detail.
This course will pursue civil litigation through appellate courts examining the corrective steps
available in civil proceedings. Appellate litigation strategies and choice of grounds for
appellate / revision petitions are studied in the context of provisions of the C.P.C. and rules of
civil practice. Drafting exercises will form a major part of the course.
