Consolidation of suits [Repealed]
Full Text
[Consolidation of suits.] Rep. by the Code of Civil Procedure (Amendment) Act, 1973 (49 of 1973), s. 4 (w.e.f. 1-2-1977).
Plain English Summary
Repealed by the CPC (Amendment) Act 49 of 1973 following the abolition of pecuniary valuation tests for Supreme Court appeals by the 30th Constitutional Amendment.
Key Legal Elements
- Repealed Provision: Formerly governed consolidation of suits to satisfy the pecuniary threshold of Rs. 20,000.
- Rendered Redundant: Pecuniary valuation abolished by 30th Constitutional Amendment Act, 1972.
Practical Note
Historical Context: Formerly, Rule 4 allowed consolidation of multiple suits to reach the statutory appealable valuation limit of Rs. 20,000 under the old Article 133(1). Once the 30th Constitutional Amendment replaced pecuniary thresholds with the qualitative 'substantial question of law of general importance' standard, Rule 4 was repealed.
