A civil suit is filed under the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 to enforce private rights — such as property disputes, contract breaches, and money recovery. It is adjudicated by civil courts (District Courts, City Civil Courts) and follows the CPC procedure. A writ petition is filed under Article 226 of the Constitution before the High Court to challenge arbitrary government action, enforce fundamental rights, or correct jurisdictional errors by inferior courts/tribunals.
The timeline varies based on case complexity and court backlog. Simple money recovery suits may conclude in 1–2 years. Property disputes and partition suits typically take 3–5 years at the trial court level, with appeals adding 2–3 more years. Writ petitions before the Patna High Court are generally disposed of within 6–18 months.
Generally, no. The Patna High Court expects petitioners to exhaust alternative statutory remedies before invoking Article 226. However, exceptions exist: (1) When the alternative remedy is futile or inadequate, (2) When there is violation of fundamental rights, (3) When there is patent illegality or lack of jurisdiction, (4) When delay in alternative remedy would cause irreparable harm.
Essential documents include: Title deeds and chain of ownership, Mutation records (Jamabandi/Dakhil-Kharij), Revenue records (Khesra Register, Continuous Khatian), Family tree showing all co-sharers, Death certificates of deceased co-sharers, Legal heirship certificates, Survey maps, Tax receipts, and any prior partition deeds or family settlements.
Under Order XXXIX Rule 1 CPC, a temporary injunction may be granted if: (a) The property is in danger of being wasted, damaged, or alienated, (b) The defendant threatens to dispossess the plaintiff, or (c) The defendant threatens to cause injury to the plaintiff. You must file a suit with a proper cause of action, along with an injunction application supported by an affidavit and documentary evidence.
Section 13 provides grounds including: Adultery, Cruelty (mental or physical), Desertion for 2+ years, Conversion, Unsound mind, Virulent leprosy, Communicable venereal disease, Renunciation, Not heard of as alive for 7+ years, No resumption of cohabitation after judicial separation (1 year), No resumption of cohabitation after restitution decree (1 year). Section 13B provides for divorce by mutual consent.
Yes. Following the Supreme Court's Palm Groves judgment (2025 INSC 1023), all consumer forum orders — final and interim — are enforceable as civil court decrees under Order XXI CPC. You can file an execution petition before the same consumer forum or the civil court, seeking attachment of bank accounts, attachment and sale of properties, warrant of arrest for willful non-compliance, and appointment of a commissioner.

Legal fees vary based on case complexity, court level, and duration. Advocate Mohammad Hammad offers transparent, fixed-fee consultation and flexible payment options. Contact for a personalized quote. We believe quality legal representation should be accessible to all.
Yes, the Consumer Commission has an e-filing portal (https://efiling.ncdrc.nic.in) where complaints can be filed online. However, proper drafting of complaint, cause of action, and evidence compilation requires legal expertise. A consumer court lawyer can help you file online complaints correctly.
Under the Limitation Act, 1963, the limitation period varies: 3 years for money suits (Article 113), 12 years for possession of immovable property (Article 65), 3 years for specific performance (Article 54), and 1 year for suits for defamation (Article 93). Always consult a lawyer to determine the exact limitation period for your case.
Generally, writ petitions are filed against the State or instrumentalities of the State. However, a writ petition can be filed against a private person if the enforcement of fundamental rights is involved, or if the private entity performs a public function. In such cases, the writ may be issued against the private entity for violation of fundamental rights.
A preliminary decree declares the shares of all co-sharers in a partition suit. It is the first stage of the partition proceedings. A final decree follows the preliminary decree and actually divides the property as per the declared shares, allotting specific portions to each co-sharer. The final decree concludes the partition suit.
Yes, in a writ petition, the High Court can grant an interim stay on a government order if the petitioner makes a strong prima facie case, balance of convenience is in favor of the petitioner, and irreparable harm would occur if the stay is not granted. The stay is typically granted until the final disposal of the writ petition.
The procedure includes: (1) Drafting of plaint with all essential details, (2) Valuation and payment of court fees, (3) Filing before the appropriate civil court (Patna City Civil Court or District Court), (4) Service of summons to defendants, (5) Filing of written statement by defendants, (6) Framing of issues by the court, (7) Evidence recording, (8) Arguments, (9) Preliminary decree, and (10) Final decree. A partition suit lawyer will guide you through each step.
