Civil196511 sections
The Goa, Daman and Diu Suits Valuation Act, 1965 regulates how the financial value of lawsuits, particularly those involving land, is calculated to determine which court has authority to hear a case. Applying to litigants and courts in this region, it standardizes valuation rules for calculating court fees. This matters because it prevents people from choosing courts based on artificial property values. Furthermore, it ensures that minor errors in valuing a civil lawsuit cannot easily be used to overturn judicial decisions later during an appeal, thereby preventing unnecessary legal delays and safeguarding the entire trial process for all involved citizens.
