A. Introduction:: Nirmal Chand V.girindra Narayan, The Court Defined Caveat As A Warning Given
Introduction:
Section 148 (A) of Indian Civil Procedure Code, 1908 deals with
the law related to the caveat. A Caveat is a Latin term, which means, ‘let a
person beware’. In law, it can be explained as a notice or a precaution exercise
(generally in probate cases) that a certain matter not is heard, judgment not is
passed, order not is issued without hearing the person who has filed the caveat.
It can be made in an application already made or which is supposed
to be made in future.
B. Meaning Of Caveat:
The term caveat has not been defined in the Civil Procedure Code
(148 A: Right to lodge a caveat). It has been derived from the Latin word which
means “beware”. As per the dictionary meaning of Caveat, it is an entry made in
the book of the offices of a registry or a court to prevent a certain step being
taken without prior notice to the person entering the caveat. In the case of
Nirmal Chand v.Girindra Narayan, the court defined caveat as a warning given
by an individual to the court that no order or judgment shall be passed without
giving notice or without hearing the Caveator( who files the caveat).
