Register of suits
Full Text
The Court shall cause the particulars of every suit to be entered in a book to be kept for the purpose and called the register of civil suits. Such entries shall be numbered in every year according to the order in which the plaints are admitted.
Plain English Summary
Requires the civil court to record admitted plaints sequentially in the statutory Register of Civil Suits, assigning the official annual suit number (CIS CNR/Case Number).
Key Legal Elements
- Official Register of Civil Suits: Administrative master register maintained by every civil court under high court supervision.
- Sequential Numbering: Suits are numbered in chronological order of admission (e.g., C.S. No. 45 of 2026).
- Presentation vs. Admission Distinction: Filing/Presentation occurs first; registration/admission occurs after scrutiny of court fees and registry objections.
Practical Note
Court Administration & Digital Tracking: 1. Modern CIS Integration: In the modern e-Courts Case Information System (CIS), Rule 2 translates to the generation of the 16-digit CNR Number and regular Civil Suit (CS/OS) registration number. 2. Evidentiary Value of Register: The Register of Civil Suits is a public document under Section 74 of the Indian Evidence Act / Section 74 BSA, providing authoritative proof of the exact date and pendency of litigation for the doctrine of lis pendens (Section 52 TPA).
