Introduction
The Code of Civil procedure plays a crucial and determining role in expediting the adjudication of
civil disputes. A Uniform procedure was made for application of a code of simple and uniform
procedure applicable to all the courts of the Country. Procedural law is not only handmaiden of
justice but plays important role in achieving justice then substantive law. The statement that
substantive law resides in the interstices of procedure reflects this reality. Knowledge of procedural
law is an essential tool in the armory of the legal practitioner. For a successful litigation it is
