Application of Code to High Courts
Full Text
Save as provided in this Part or in Part X or in rules, the provisions of this Code shall apply to such High Courts.
Plain English Summary
Section 117 provides for the general application of the Code of Civil Procedure to High Courts, except where varied or excluded by the special provisions of Part IX, the rule-making powers under Part X, or High Court Original Side rules.
Key Legal Elements
- General Application: General provisions of CPC apply to High Courts.
- Subject to Exceptions: Subordinated to specific exceptions in Part IX, Part X (Rules), and High Court Original Side rules.
- Precedence of Special Rules: High Court Original Side Rules override inconsistent CPC procedural provisions.
Practical Note
Harmonization of CPC with High Court Rules: Section 117 establishes that while CPC generally governs High Courts, High Court Original Side Rules framed under Section 122 or Letters Patent take precedence in case of inconsistency. For instance, Original Side rules governing chamber summons, notices of motion, and company/commercial litigation supersede the general procedural rules of CPC where inconsistency exists (*Iridium India Telecom Ltd. v. Motorola Inc., 2005*).
