How do you file a civil suit for recovery? Are there any particular sections of CPC to conform with?

Recovery of money suits are governed under Order VII of CPC.  In the absence of written agreement, a suit can be filed on the basis of a oral agreement.

Written Agreement is  the way to prove the liability of Defendnats to pay the due amoun 

 

You can also prove liability other wise also - provided that you have delivered goods /items /rendered services etc and liability to pay the amount .

Thank you so much, we are contemplating a summary suit, using the acknowledgement of the said payment as a written contract.

Order XXXVII Suit can also be a good remedy

Thank you all so much for your help.

Since the matter involves recovering money from a corporation, of which our client was a consumer, our client wished to file a consumer complaint to begin with. Based on the decision here, we'll see the strength of the case and wether we should proceed with filing a suit. 

In the absence of any contract or agreement, it seems really tough to recover money just on the basis of a receipt which was given two years after handing over money. I had to argue my life off to just get the matter admitted.

You can prove the Debt to be recovered even if there is no written agreement. Foe that you will have to refer section 70 of  contract act.
