Full Text

(2) The application when so filed, shall be numbered and registered as a suit between one or more of the parties claiming to be interested as plaintiff or plaintiffs, and the other or the others of them as defendant or defendants; and notice shall be given to all the parties to the agreement, other than the party or parties by whom the application was presented.
Plain English Summary
Prescribes the procedure for filing the agreement along with an application in the competent jurisdictional court, where it is formally numbered and registered as a regular civil suit with notice issued to non-presenting signatories.
Key Legal Elements
- Filing with Formal Application: 1976 Amendment mandated that the agreement must be accompanied by a formal application.
- Competent Court: Must be filed in the court having both territorial and pecuniary jurisdiction over the stated value.
- Registration as a Civil Suit: Numbered and registered in the Register of Civil Suits like an ordinary plaint.
- Parties Alignment: One side enrolled as plaintiffs and the opposing side as defendants.
- Notice to Non-Presenting Parties: Mandatory judicial notice to any co-signatory who did not physically join in presenting the application.
Practical Note
Procedure for Filing and Notice: 1. 1976 Amendment Mandate: By the Code of Civil Procedure (Amendment) Act, 1976 (Act 104 of 1976), the words 'with an application' and 'The application' were inserted to ensure that an agreement is placed on the judicial record through a registered formal petition rather than informal submission. 2. Service of Notice: If all parties jointly present the application at the filing counter, issuance of notice under Sub-rule (2) can be dispensed with on their joint appearance and verification.
