The Bombay Court-Fees (Gujarat Amendment) Act, 1961

Civil19955 sections

This law amends the Bombay Court-fees Act to increase the fees required for filing legal documents in Gujarat. It raises the court charges for various cases, including plaints, appeals, and memoranda, and updates the fee structure in Schedule I to be based on the value of the subject matter in dispute. By increasing these charges, the government aims to generate more revenue from the judicial system to cover administrative costs and ensure a fair contribution from litigants based on the value of their claims.
