The Civil Procedure Code (CPC) is a legal framework that governs the rules and procedures for resolving civil disputes within a country's judicial system. It outlines the processes by which civil cases, which typically involve disputes between individuals, entities, or organizations over matters such as contracts, property, and personal rights, are initiated, conducted, and ultimately decided in a court of law. The CPC lays down guidelines for filing lawsuits, serving legal notices, conducting trials, presenting evidence, and obtaining judgments in civil cases, ensuring a structured and fair process for all parties involved in the litigation. Different countries may have their own versions of the Civil Procedure Code, tailored to their legal systems and practices.
