Procedural laws prescribe the method for enforcing rights and duties. The Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 gives the law relating to the procedure of the courts of civil judicature.
Takwani’s Civil Procedure is an authority on the subject. It is well acclaimed as a compact book written in a lucid style. The commentary explains the theoretical as well as practical aspects of civil procedure. The seventh edition of the book has been made more informative and useful.
The following are the highlights of the seventh edition:
1. A new chapter on Limitation Act, 1963 has been added; as the Bar Council has included the Limitation Act, 1963 as a subject along with the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 in the law school curriculum.
2. Latest Statutory amendments and case laws have been included.
The author has taken care to ensure that the work continues to remain introductory in nature and does not lose its character as a “Student Edition”.
The book is prescribed in almost all universities in India. The book, though written for students and junior members of the Bar, is a great reference tool for lawyers and judges. The book is definitely a prized collection for any library.
