Code Of Civil Procedure [Bare Act]

Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 (V of 1908) — Bare Act
The Complete Statutory Text Governing Civil Litigation in Pakistan

Every civil suit filed in Pakistan — from property disputes to contract enforcement — follows a single procedural framework laid down over a century ago and still in force today. The Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 (Bare Act) provides the complete, unamended English statutory text, published by Mansoor Law Book House.

Why This Bare Act is Essential

The CPC 1908 consolidates and amends the law relating to the procedure of civil courts across Pakistan, and its stated objective is to enable courts to deal with cases justly and fairly, encourage alternative dispute resolution, and save the time and expense of both courts and litigants. It defines core legal concepts such as decree, judgment, and decree-holder, and governs the entire lifecycle of a civil suit — from institution and jurisdiction, through trial and judgment, to execution of decrees and appeals.
