The Court Fees (Delhi Amendment) Act regulates the costs of legal proceedings and refunds in Delhi. Applying to local litigants, the law specifies a fifteen-rupee fee for petitions under the Special Marriage and Hindu Marriage Acts. Crucially, the 2026 amendment allows plaintiffs to receive a full refund of their paid court fees if they settle their civil lawsuit or appeal amicably at any stage, whether through formal mediation or private agreement. This legislation matters because it makes family law filings accessible and financially incentivizes out-of-court settlements, saving litigants money while reducing the case backlog in Delhi courts.
