Engage our Best Civil Advocates in Civil Trial

• The purpose of a civil dispute trial in court is to reach a judicial determination between the disputing parties of the matter in disagreement, according to the law and the court’s procedure. A judicial trial provides the parties involved in the dispute with the opportunity to present their respective cases on questions of law as well as fact, ascertaining facts through evidence presented by the parties, and adjudication of the dispute through a reasoned judgment based on a finding on the facts in controversy and application of the law to the facts found.
• In a judicial trial, the Judge must not only reach a just result, but he must also record the ultimate conceptual framework leading from the disagreement to its resolution, unless otherwise permitted by the court’s practice or by law. A judicial conclusion of a disputed claim when serious problems of law or fact emerge is justified only if it is supported by the most compelling reasons that come to the Judge’s mind; a mere order ruling the matter in dispute without reasons is no judgment at all.
• Keeping track of the reasoning for a decision on a disputed claim serves multiple benefits. It is designed to ensure that the decision is not based on whim or fancy, but rather on a judicial approach to the issue at hand: it is also intended to ensure that the matter is adjudicated in accordance with the law and the method provided by law. A party to a disagreement has a right to know the grounds on which the court has decided against him, especially if the ruling is appealable. The Appellate Court will then have enough information to assess whether the facts were accurately established, the law was appropriately applied, and the conclusion was just.

Code of Civil Procedure

The Code of Civil Procedure is a vehicle for the administration of justice with universal applicability, in that it applies not only to the trial court or courts of original jurisdiction, but also to the various High Court Rules prescribing the rules of business for writ courts and the Supreme Court. As a result, the Code of Civil Procedure occupies a unique position within the Indian legal system. The Code of Civil Procedure, through its rules and interpretations, must act as a catalyst in bringing the Indian legal system into the global arena and compete with the greatest legal systems around the world.

Today, information is consolidated through the Internet and other forms of communication. The term “municipal law” does not refer to a specific country.

E-commerce and cross-border disputes between private parties have ushered in a new era of litigation in which not only the conflict of laws must be addressed, but also the various legal systems must be harmonized so that no party is prejudiced or gains an advantage as a result of a change in the nationality of the governing law or the forum. Our top civil lawyers in Delhi are abreast with the most recent legal developments and trends in civil litigation and provide timely advice to our clients.
