This Act amends the fines/court fees structure in Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Jharkhand's civil courts by dramatically increasing monetary penalties. Originally covering Bengal, Agra and Assam, this amendment title now specifically signifies Jharkhand's adaptation of fee thresholds. The law extends to the entire state without any delay.
