KARNATAKA LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY
SIXTEENTH LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY
FIRST SESSION
(Adjourned Meeting)
THE CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE (KARNATAKA AMEDMENT) BILL, 2023
(LA Bill No. 13 of 2023)
A Bill further to amend the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 (Central Act 5 of
1908) in its application to the State of Karnataka, to provide for speedy disposal of
cases in which persons having no sustained strength to fight prolonged litigation
in courts are involved.
Whereas it is expedient further to amend the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908
(Central Act 5 of 1908) to secure to persons having no sustained strength to fight
prolonged litigation in courts of Law by reason of their being small or marginal
farmers and persons of the economically weaker sections i.e., persons whose
income from all sources does not exceed fifty thousand rupees in a year, speedy
justice by stipulating a reasonable time frame within which such cases shall be
disposed of on preference;
Be it enacted by the Karnataka Legislature in the seventy fourth year of the
Republic as follows:-
1. Short title, commencement and extent.- (1) This Act may be called the
Code of Civil Procedure (Karnataka Amendment) Act, 2023.
(2) It shall extend to the whole of the State of Karnataka.
(3) It shall come into force from such date as the state Government may by
notification appoint.
2. Insertion of new rule 4 in Order XVII C.P.C.- In Order XVII of the Code
of Civil Procedure, 1908 (Central Act 5 of 1908) after rule 3, the following shall be
inserted, namely:-
"4. Priority of disposal of cases involving small farmers and persons
belonging to the economically weaker sections.- (1) Where in any suit or other
proceeding in any court, a small farmer or a person belonging to the economically
weaker sections is involved either as plaintiff or as defendant, such case shall be
taken up on priority over other cases listed for the day.
7
(2) The Court shall hear and dispose of such case, as far as possible within
six months,-
(i) in a case pending on the date of commencement of the Code of Civil
Procedure (Karnataka Amendment) Act, 2023 from such date of commencement
or the date next fixed for hearing of the case, or;
(ii) in a case filed after the commencement of the Code of Civil Procedure
(Karnataka Amendment) Act, 2023 from the date fixed in the summons or notice
of such suit or proceeding for the appearance of the defendant or respondent.
(3) (i) Notwithstanding anything said in clause (i) of sub-rule (2) above a party
claiming benefit of this rule, may apply to the Court along with an affidavit in
proof of his beneficiary status, for disposal of his case on preference in accordance
with the provisions of this rule.
(ii) In cases filed after the commencement of this Amendment Act, the
beneficiary may apply to the Court, if he is the plaintiff, and if he is a defendant on
the date of his first appearance before Court, in response to the summons, in the
same manner as in clause (i) above.
(iii) Where the beneficiary status of the applicant is disputed the Court shall
try the question summarily and dispose of the application as for as possible within
fifteen days, on such terms including compensatory costs.
(4) In disposing of a case under this rule the Court may, in appropriate
circumstances, adopt the procedure set out in the provisions of Order X, Order XII
and Order XXXVII of the Code.
(5) No adjournment shall be granted in such a case at the instance of the
opponent of the beneficiary, except for compelling reasons to be recorded by the
Court.
Explanation 1: For the purposes of this rule a 'case' includes a suit or other
proceeding arising out of such suit pending in the High Court, or other Civil Courts.
Explanation 2: 'Small farmer' means a person who on the date of
commencement of this Act, holds whether as owner, or mortgagee with possession
or partly in one capacity and partly in another not more than such units of land,
the annual income from which does not exceed such amount as determined by the
State Government and who has no income from any source other than agriculture.
8
Explanation 3: 'Persons belonging to weaker section' means persons
whose annual income from all sources does not exceed as specified by the
Government from time to time.
STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS
It is expedient to provide for speedy disposal of cases in which persons having
no sustained strength to fight prolonged litigation in courts are involved and
whereas it is expedient further to amend the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 (Central
Act 5 of 1908) to secure to persons having no sustained strength to fight prolonged
litigation in courts of Law by reason of their being small or marginal farmers and
persons of the economically weaker sections i.e., persons whose income from all
sources does not exceed fifty thousand rupees in a year, speedy justice by
stipulating a reasonable time frame within which such cases shall be disposed of
on performance. There is a need to evolve a suitable procedure for expeditious
disposal of the cases and to achieve these objectives.
Hence, the Bill.
FINANCIAL MEMORANDUM
There is no extra expenditure involved in the proposed legislative measure.

ORDER XVII
Adjournment
1. Court may grant time and adjourn hearing.- (1) The court may,
if sufficient cause is shown, at any stage of the suit grant time to the parties or to
any of them, and may from time to time adjourn the hearing of the suit for reasons
to be recorded in writing:
Provided that, no such adjournment shall be granted more than three time
to a party during hearing of the suit.
(2) Costs of adjournment.- In every such case the Court shall fix a day for
the further hearing of the suit, and shall make such orders as to costs occasioned
by the adjournment or such higher costs as the court deems fit:
Provided that,-
(a) when the hearing of the suit has commenced, it shall be continued
from day-to-day until all the witnesses in attendance have been
examined, unless the Court finds that, for the exceptional reasons
to be recorded by it, the adjournment of the hearing beyond the
following day is necessary.
(b) no adjournment shall be granted at the request of a party, except
where the circumstances are beyond the control of that party,
(c) the fact that the pleader of a party is engaged in another Court,
shall not be a ground for adjournment,
(d) where the illness of a pleader or his inability to conduct the case
for any reason, other than his being engaged in another Court, is
put forward as a ground for adjournment, the Court shall not
grant the adjournment unless it is satisfied that the party
applying for adjournment could not have engaged another pleader
in time,
(e) where a witness is present in Court but a party or his pleader is
not present or the party or his pleader, though present in Court,
is not ready to examine or cross-examine the witness, the Court
10
may, if it thinks fit, record the statement of the witness and pass
such orders as it thinks fit dispensing with the examination-in-
chief or cross-examination of the witness, as the case may be, by
