Keeping Pace with Legal Change
This article provides an explanation of Sections 69, 70, and 71 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. These sections address the matters of serving a summons outside of the local jurisdiction of a court, providing documentation of such service, and serving summonses to witnesses through the use of technological methods and the postal service.
Section 6 of the Rajasthan Court Fees and Suits Valuation Act, 1961 addresses court fees on multiple claims in a suit. Where a suit presents multiple distinct claims, separate court fees shall be paid by each claim unless they are intrinsically related. The Act provides for just valuation of suits and avoids abuse of the judicial process by undervaluing claims. Exemptions or reductions may be allowed in certain cases. An understanding of this provision assists litigants and lawyers in computing proper fees and adhering to procedural mandates.
