  1. Question 1 · Court Fees and Suits Valuation Practice Set 1

    Match List I (subject-matter of a suit for possession) with List II (deemed value under Section 7(v) of the Court-fees Act, 1870, apart from the Bombay proviso): List I A. Land forming an estate whose revenue is permanently settled B. Land forming an estate whose revenue is settled, but not permanently C. Land paying no revenue, from which nett profits arose in the year before the plaint D. A house or garden List II 1. Market-value 2. Fifteen times the nett profits 3. Five times the revenue 4. Ten times the revenue

    1. A. A-3, B-4, C-2, D-1
    2. B. A-4, B-3, C-2, D-1
    3. C. A-4, B-3, C-1, D-2
    4. D. A-2, B-3, C-4, D-1
    Show the answer

    B. A-4, B-3, C-2, D-1

    Section 7(v)(a) values land with permanently settled revenue at ten times the revenue, clause (b) values land whose revenue is settled but not permanently at five times the revenue, clause (c) values land paying no revenue at fifteen times the nett profits, and clause (e) values a house or garden at its market-value. Many States have their own court-fees legislation; this is the rule in the 1870 Act.

  2. Question 2 · Court Fees and Suits Valuation Practice Set 1

    In a suit for possession of a house, the Court thinks the market-value has been under-estimated. It issues a commission under Section 9 of the Court-fees Act, 1870, finds the value insufficient, and requires the plaintiff to pay the additional fee within a fixed time. The plaintiff does not pay. Under Section 10, the Court shall:

    1. A. reject the plaint under Order VII Rule 11 CPC
    2. B. stay the suit until the Collector recovers the fee
    3. C. decide the suit and recover the deficit as land revenue
    4. D. dismiss the suit for want of the additional fee
    Show the answer

    D. dismiss the suit for want of the additional fee

    Section 10(ii) says the suit is stayed until the additional fee is paid and, if it is not paid within the time fixed by the Court, the suit shall be dismissed. The Act itself prescribes dismissal, so the plaint is not merely rejected. Many States have their own court-fees legislation; this is the rule in the 1870 Act.

  3. Question 3 · Court Fees and Suits Valuation Practice Set 1

    Under Section 7(ii) of the Court-fees Act, 1870, in a suit for maintenance, the value of the subject-matter is deemed to be:

    1. A. twenty times the amount claimed to be payable for one year
    2. B. ten times the amount claimed to be payable for one year
    3. C. fifteen times the amount claimed to be payable for one year
    4. D. five times the amount claimed to be payable for one year
    Show the answer

    B. ten times the amount claimed to be payable for one year

    Section 7(ii) values suits for maintenance and annuities or other periodical sums at ten times the amount claimed to be payable for one year. Arrears of maintenance, by contrast, are a suit for money under Section 7(i). Many States have their own court-fees legislation; this is the rule in the 1870 Act.

  4. Question 4 · Court Fees and Suits Valuation Practice Set 1

    Consider the following statements under Sections 9 and 10 of the Court-fees Act, 1870: 1. Where the market-value of a house in a suit for possession appears wrongly estimated, the Court may issue a commission for a local or other investigation. 2. If the investigation shows that the estimation was excessive, the Court must refund the excess fee. 3. If the estimation was insufficient, the Court shall require the plaintiff to pay the additional fee. Which of the statements given above are correct?

    1. A. 1 and 3 only
    2. B. 2 and 3 only
    3. C. 1 and 2 only
    4. D. 1, 2 and 3
    Show the answer

    A. 1 and 3 only

    Section 9 permits a commission, and Section 10(i) makes payment of the additional fee mandatory where the estimate was insufficient. Where the estimate was excessive, Section 10(i) says the Court 'may in its discretion' refund the excess, so statement 2 is wrong. Many States have their own court-fees legislation; this is the rule in the 1870 Act.

  5. Question 5 · Court Fees and Suits Valuation Practice Set 1

    X's land was attached for Rs 5 lakh in execution of a decree against Y. X sues to set aside the attachment. The land is worth much less than Rs 5 lakh. Under Section 7(viii) of the Court-fees Act, 1870, the fee is computed:

    1. A. as if the suit were one for possession of the attached land
    2. B. at one-half of the amount for which the land was attached
    3. C. according to the amount at which X values the relief he claims
    4. D. according to Rs 5 lakh, the amount for which the land was attached
    Show the answer

    A. as if the suit were one for possession of the attached land

    Section 7(viii) normally takes the amount for which the land was attached, but its proviso says that where that amount exceeds the value of the land, the fee is computed as if the suit were for possession of the land. Many States have their own court-fees legislation; this is the rule in the 1870 Act.
