Indian Civil Procedure - Statutory Reference Guide
Code of Civil Procedure, 1908: CPC Sections, Orders and Rules
The Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 (Act No. 5 of 1908), commonly called the CPC, governs the procedure followed by civil courts in India, subject to special enactments, applicable amendments and court rules. This guide explains its principal provisions and provides direct links to the section-wise and rule-wise pages.
Important: The CPC is procedural legislation, not a complete statement of substantive civil rights. State amendments, High Court rules and special statutes, including the Commercial Courts Act, 2015, may modify its application. Verify the applicable text before relying on a provision in litigation.
Purpose and structure of the CPC
The CPC was enacted on 21 March 1908 to consolidate and amend the law relating to the procedure of courts of civil judicature. It comprises numbered statutory sections and the First Schedule containing Orders and Rules. The sections set out jurisdictional powers and general principles; the Orders and Rules specify detailed court procedure.
Section 9 establishes the general jurisdiction of civil courts to try suits of a civil nature unless cognizance is expressly or impliedly barred. Sections 15 to 20 deal broadly with the place of suing, while Sections 36 to 74 address execution of decrees. Appeals, reference, review and revision are governed by their respective provisions and procedural rules.
Important definitions under Section 2 CPC
Decree (Section 2(2)): The formal expression of an adjudication conclusively determining the rights of parties with regard to all or any matters in controversy in a suit, subject to statutory inclusions and exclusions. A decree may be preliminary or final.
Decree-holder (Section 2(3)): A person in whose favour a decree has been passed or an order capable of execution has been made.
Judgment (Section 2(9)): The statement given by a judge of the grounds of a decree or order.
Judgment-debtor (Section 2(10)): A person against whom a decree has been passed or an order capable of execution has been made.
Legal representative (Section 2(11)): A person who in law represents the estate of a deceased person, including the categories specified in the provision.
Mesne profits (Section 2(12)): Profits received or receivable with ordinary diligence by a person in wrongful possession, together with interest, but excluding profits attributable to improvements made by that person.
Order (Section 2(14)): The formal expression of a decision of a civil court which is not a decree.
Main stages of a civil suit
1. Jurisdiction and institution

2. Summons and written statement
Section 27 and Order V deal with issue and service of summons. Order VIII governs the written statement, set-off and counterclaim. Time limits can vary for ordinary and commercial suits.
3. Discovery, issues and evidence
Order XI addresses discovery, subject to the special regime for commercial disputes; Order XIV governs settlement of issues; Order XVIII addresses hearing of the suit and examination of witnesses. Evidence is also governed by applicable evidence legislation.
4. Judgment, decree and costs
Section 33 and Order XX concern judgment and decree. Section 34 deals with interest, while Sections 35, 35A and 35B concern costs in the circumstances specified by law.
5. Execution and enforcement
Sections 36 to 74 and Order XXI address execution. Courts may enforce decrees through attachment and sale, delivery of property and other lawful methods, subject to safeguards and exemptions.
6. Appeals and supervisory remedies
Section 96 concerns first appeals from original decrees; Section 100 limits second appeals to cases involving a substantial question of law. Sections 104, 113, 114 and 115 deal with appeals from certain orders, reference, review and revision respectively.
