The Goa Suits Valuation Act, 2025
Civil202510 sections
This Act provides a legal framework for determining the value of land and specific suits in Goa to establish which court has the authority to hear a case. It ensures that the value used to calculate court fees aligns with the value used for jurisdictional purposes, preventing disputes over which court should handle a matter. The government can set rules for land valuation, and the High Court can intervene if a value cannot be determined. Furthermore, the law mandates that objections regarding incorrect valuations must be raised early in the proceedings to be valid, streamlining the judicial process.
