COURSE PLAN
LEVEL OF KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED:
Broadly law is divided into two groups: (1) Substantive law and (2)
Procedural law. The substantive law determines the rights and liabilities of parties whereas
procedural law prescribes the practice, procedures and machinery for the enforcement of those
rights and liabilities. The Code of Civil Procedure is a procedural law which regulates the
procedure followed in civil courts. A student of law should know the procedural law for the
enforcement of civil rights and liabilities of the parties. An extensive and widely curriculum is
offered to the student to know the same so that they become well aware about the procedure
followed in the civil courts. On the other hand, they should also know about law of limitation.
OBJECTIVES
The entire course structure is designed with three objectives in view. One is to
provide adequate knowledge about procedures/rules of litigation in the civil courts. The next
objective is to give an overview of law of limitation for institution of suit, appeal, review,
reference etc because the Law assists the vigilant and not those who sleep over the rights. The
third objective is to view some of the current problems arising out of the procedural
technicalities like delay in getting order, Judgment and decree in civil litigations. In some civil
cases, even generations pass but no final decision comes out from the court which is now a point
of discussion in the society. To apprise the students with latest amendments in the Code of Civil
Procedure is also one of the main object.
BRIEF COURSE DESCRIPTION
The course is distributed in five Modules. The First Module of the course
contains introduction, jurisdiction of the civil courts, law of Res sub judice and Res judicata,
place of suing, institution of suit and appearance & non appearance of parties. The second
