CPC Section 129 — Power of High Courts to make rules as to their original Civil procedure

Civil

Summary

A High Court that is not a Judicial Commissioner's Court can create its own rules for how it handles civil cases that start in that court. These rules must not go against the court's founding documents or laws. Any such rules that were already in place when this Code began remain valid.

Official Text

Notwithstanding anything in this Code, any High Court not being the Court of a Judicial Commissioner may make such rules not inconsistent with the Letters Patent or order or other law establishing it to regulate its own procedure in the exercise of its original civil jurisdiction as it shall think fit, and nothing herein contained shall affect the validity of any such rules in force at the commencement of this Code.
