Can the High Court impose Rs. 5 lakh costs under CPC?
Is there a provision in the CPC to levy Rs. five lakh as costs on an appellant by the High Court for filing an IA (Interlocutory Application) seeking restoration of an RFA (Regular First Appeal) that was dismissed?
Sir, under the Civil Procedure Code (CPC), courts have the discretion to impose costs under Sections 35 and 35A for frivolous or vexatious applications. While there is no fixed provision for levying Rs. 5 lakh specifically, the court may impose such costs based on the appellant's conduct and the case's merit. It is advised to consult an expert lawyer who will assist you with the bet course of action. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
