Subject: The Code of Civil Course: B.A. LL.B. (Hons.)
Procedure & Indian Labour & Criminal Laws
Limitation Act (Semester IV)

Duration: January-May 2018 Subject code: LLBL 131

ABOUT THE SUBJECT:

Law has been broadly classified 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. Apart from this they should also know about the law of limitation as
the law cannot wait for the enforcement of the rights forever.

OBJECTIVES

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
entire course structure is designed with three objectives in view:
i) To provide adequate knowledge about procedures/rules of litigation in the civil courts.
The students ought to be aware of the procedural aspects of the enforcement of civil
rights in the Indian courts.

School of law January-May 2018

 ii) 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.
iii) 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 objects.
iv) Finally to brief them about the nuances of the Civil Procedure and inculcate in them the
basic traits of civil practise.

LEARNING OUTCOME:
After the completion of the subject the students would be able to understand:
I. The procedural aspects of the Civil laws in India
II. The different stages in a civil litigation so that they can be able to practice well in the
civil side.
III. It is important to understand how to apply the law and thus the emphasis would not
only be on apprising them with the theoretical concepts of the procedural law but also
make them skilled with the application of the same.
IV. The idea is to make them aware with the civil courts hierarchal setup in India along
with the different stages of a suit filing, drafting, hearing and execution proceedings.
V. Also the students would understand the importance of the law of limitation as the law
supports only vigilant and not the dormant, who sleeps over his rights.
