The Code Of Civil Procedure (Rajasthan Amendment) Act, 2020

Civil20202 sections

This Act amends the Code of Civil Procedure to apply specifically to the State of Rajasthan. It modifies Section 60 of the 1908 Act to change how agricultural debtors are treated during legal proceedings. The amendment adds a specific condition for judgment-debtors who are agriculturists, stating that they must own agricultural land to the extent of five acres to be exempt from the attachment of their milch cattle. This change aims to protect small farmers by ensuring that only those with significant land holdings can be forced to surrender their livestock, thereby safeguarding their livelihoods during debt recovery processes.
