Additional Court Fees and Claim Relinquishment: Sections 12 & 13 of The Rajasthan Court Fees and Suits Valuation Act, 1961
The Rajasthan Court Fees and Suits Valuation Act, 1961, in Sections 12 and 13 controls extra court charges and abandonment of claims in lawsuits. Section 12 permits the courts to add supplementary charges in case the original payment proves to be less than required so as to correspond to the true valuation of the suit. Section 13 supports claimants in abandoning portions of their claims with resultant fee modification that is commensurate to the diminished claim amount. These provisions maintain accurate fee assessment, deter undervaluation schemes, and ensure rightful state revenue from court fees, upholding fairness and integrity in the judicial process.
