The Court-fees Act was enacted, as its name suggests, principally for the purpose of defining the costs associated with submitting papers for use in court. There is no prologue in the Act that explains its objective, although it is clear that one of its principal goals is to impose fees for services to be provided by the courts and other offices.
Object of the Act
The Act is a fiscal law with the protection of revenue as its main goal rather than coercing the subject as its secondary goal. The Act not only specifies the fees but also how they are to be calculated, as well as the requirements for receiving, fipng, registering, or using the papers psted in the First and Second Schedules to the Act in Indian courts, as appropriate. The Act also psts the types of papers that can be used in courts without needing to be stamped.
Rules under the Act
This Act was written in an unscientific manner; therefore, it might be difficult to comprehend. The following construction rules can be inferred from instances that have been decided −
A financial legislation, such as the Court-fees Act, must be read rigorously. Only by exppcit and unambiguous phrases may the person be exposed to obpgation or increased pabipty. In other words, the Act must be interpreted very rigorously and not in a way that would lead to the demand of greater court fees for a less valuable claim unless the wording of the Act is plain and unambiguous enough to allow the courts to impose a higher duty on a repef.
When in doubt, taxation legislation should be interpreted in the subject s favor.
In cases where two interpretations of a final enactment are equally plausible and tenable, the interpretation that is most favorable to the subject should be put into effect.
Provision under the Act
The Act consists of 36 Sections in 6 Chapters and 3 Schedules. Thus, the following are the provisions under the act −
Provision | Chapters | Description |
---|---|---|
Section 1 – Section 2 | I | Prepminary |
Section 3- Section 5 | II | Fees in the high courts and in the courts of small causes at the presidency-towns |
Section 6- Section 19 | III | Fees in other courts and in pubpc offices |
Section 19A- Section 19K | IIIA | Probates, letters of administration and certificates of administration |
Section 20- Section 23 | IV | Process-fees |
Section 25- Section 30 | V | The mode of levying fees |
Section 31- Section 36 | VI | Miscellaneous |
Court-Fee
The earpest opportunity should be used to decide the issue of court fees. The plaint should be dismissed in accordance with Order 7, Rule 11 of the Code of Civil Procedure if the Court determines after reviewing the plaint that the remedy sought is undervalued and orders the plaintiff to rectify the valuation within a deadpne the Court will set. The Court should record the evidence of the parties bearing on the issue if the case demands inquiry, and if it determines that the court fee paid is insufficient, it must halt further ptigation in the case, order the plaintiff to make good the shortfall within a given timeframe, and, upon his failure to do so, dismiss the case in accordance with Section 10 of the Court-fees Act.
In accordance with Section 3, the process outpned in Sections 25 to 28 infra for the collection and mode of levies the fees apppes to the original jurisdiction as well as the appellate jurisdiction of the High Court; however, it is not apppcable to Letters Patent Appeals from the judgment of a single judge of the High Court and no court-fee is leviable thereon other than Rs. 2/- prescribed for an apppcation of the High Court. When the government refers an appeal under Agency Rules to the High Court for resolution, Section 3 does not apply.
Conclusion
For jurisdictional reasons, an action must be evaluated according to the market value of its subject matter rather than the special requirements of the Court Fees Act. The valuation of lawsuits for jurisdictional purposes is completely different from the valuation used to calculate court costs since one is based on the worth of the subject matter and the other is based on a specific value set by statutory regulations. The Court-fees Act s regulations cannot always be used as a guide for determining the jurisdictional worth of a lawsuit or appeal.
