Overview

Trial procedure under the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 (CPC) is governed by specific Orders that prescribe the mechanisms for summoning witnesses and documents, managing adjournments, and conducting hearings. These procedures ensure the fair and efficient administration of civil justice while protecting the rights of all parties involved. The framework is built upon the principles of natural justice, particularly the doctrine of audi alterum partem (hear both sides).
