Description

Justice Thakker’s Code of Civil Procedure in 5 Volumes is a path‑breaking and monumental work on the subject, unanimously regarded as one of the great books of all time. It offers a comprehensive, authoritative, and lucid treatment of the Code, presenting a vast amount of essential information across its volumes. The work also addresses and explains numerous grey areas in procedural law.

The drastic changes introduced by the CPC (Amendment) Act, 1999; the CPC (Amendment) Act, 2002; along with the recent changes brought about by the Mediation Act, 2023; the Commercial Courts Act, 2015; the Factoring Regulation Act, 2011; and other enactments have been incorporated in this book. The current edition also includes updated State and High Court amendments. All up‑to‑date and significant decisions of the Supreme Court and the High Courts have been analytically examined.

Volumes 1 to 5 of the present work deal with the provisions of the Code in the order of their appearance. The substantive provisions (Sections 1 to 158) are covered in Volume 1 and partly in Volume 2. Volumes 2 to 5 discuss the First Schedule (Orders and Rules), which contains the procedural provisions. Model Forms of Pleadings have also been included, and it is hoped that they will be found useful in preparing pleadings in court.
