The Code of Civil Procedure (Maharashtra Amendment) Act, 1977

Civil19777 sections

This Act modifies the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, specifically for the State of Maharashtra. Its primary purpose is to streamline legal proceedings by requiring courts to decide jurisdictional objections as a "preliminary issue" before granting interim relief, preventing unnecessary delays. It also cleans up the statute books by repealing outdated state-specific amendments from the 1940s, 50s, and 70s. Additionally, it protects specific pensions and life insurance payouts in the Hyderabad region of Maharashtra from being attached (seized) by creditors during civil litigation, ensuring financial security for beneficiaries.
