Notable Judicial Observations

The more you study the Civil Procedure Code, the more you realise what an admirable piece of legislation it is.

- CHIEF JUSTICE M.C. CHAGLA

The code of procedure must be regarded as such. It is procedure, something designed to facilitate justice and further its ends: not a penal enactment for punishment and penalties; not a thing designed to trip people up.
