Bare Act

The Provincial Small Cause Courts (Gujarat Amendment) Act, 2002

This Act amends the Provincial Small Cause Courts Act, 1887 to increase the monetary limit for jurisdiction in Gujarat from two thousand rupees to two lacs rupees. It applies to the State of Gujarat and allows the State Government to set a specific commencement date. The legislation transfers all pending civil suits and applications with a value between two thousand and two lacs rupees from the District Court to the Small Cause Court. This change aims to streamline the judicial process by allowing smaller civil disputes to be handled at a lower court level, reducing the burden on higher courts.
