Valuation of suit

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 06 September 2010 This query is : Resolved
In the above subject I had recorded a query for answer from experts, but nothing is visible in the ' all my query lists '

The value of suit is recorded in the petition Rs.1000/= because the matter is with regard to Credit Card Statements amount of which is disputed. The amount cannot be quantified. Therefore under Section 6 vi (j) of the Bombay Court Fees Act Court fee is paid.

Is it a violation of the Court Fee Act? to get the Civil suit dismissed.

You did not mention the nature of the suit. In the suit of recovery of money the court fees is paid on the amount of money claimed. In other type of suit the plaintiff has the right to value his suit in his own discretion.If the valuation can not be fixed then undertaking is also given at the time of fixation of valuation. Even the deficit court fees can be paid later if the court so directs .
