The Civil Procedure Code (CPC) of 1908 is the primary legislation governing civil litigation in Bangladesh. It provides a comprehensive framework for the conduct of civil suits, from the filing of a case to its final disposal, including appeals. The CPC outlines the jurisdiction of various civil courts and the procedures they must follow. It covers aspects such as the filing of plaints, service of summons, written statements, framing of issues, trial procedures, execution of decrees, and appeals. The Code provides for various types of suits, including declaratory suits, suits for injunction, and suits for specific performance. It also outlines procedures for summary trials and small cause matters. The CPC includes provisions for alternative dispute resolution mechanisms, such as arbitration and mediation, which are increasingly being used to reduce the burden on the court system. Recent amendments to the CPC have aimed at speeding up the litigation process, including the introduction of time limits for various stages of a suit. The Code also provides for interim orders and injunctions, which play a crucial role in preserving the rights of parties during the pendency of a suit. The concept of res judicata, which prevents the re-litigation of issues already decided by a competent court, is an important principle enshrined in the CPC. The Code also provides for the review and revision of orders and judgments under certain circumstances. Understanding the intricacies of the Civil Procedure Code is essential for lawyers, judges, and litigants involved in civil disputes in Bangladesh.
