Understanding Civil Law in India
Civil law is rules and legal principles designed to resolve non-criminal disputes between individuals, organizations, or entities. These disputes typically involve rights, obligations, and liabilities in matters such as contracts, property, family, and torts.
In India, civil proceedings are primarily regulated by the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 (CPC), which lays down the procedural aspects for initiating and conducting civil litigation in courts. It ensures a fair trial process and guides how civil rights are enforced or protected.

The scope of civil law in India covers a wide range of areas, including:
Family Law – Marriage, divorce, maintenance, custody, and inheritance
Contract Law – Enforcement and breach of agreements
Tort Law – Claims for damages due to negligence or wrongdoing
Business & Commercial Law – Disputes involving trade, partnership, or corporate affairs
Consumer Protection – Rights of consumers against unfair trade practices
Intellectual Property – Enforcement of rights over creative and commercial works
Administrative Law, Media Law, Taxation, and Sports Law, among others..
