How many Sections does the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 contain?
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A.
1. The ICSI text records: 'The Civil Procedure Code consists of two segments. **158 Sections** form the first segment and the **rules and orders contained in Schedule I** form the second segment.'
2. Schedule I contains **51 Orders** which subdivide the procedural rules.
3. The two parts must be read together; in case of conflict between the body of the Code (sections) and the rules in the Schedule, the sections prevail.
4. The ICSI in-line question box confirms: 'There are a total of ………. sections in Code of Civil Procedure, 1908. Answer: (C) 158.'
