GUIDELINE

Guidelines for Drafting Application under Section 149 of the Code of Civil Procedure (C.P.C.):

Title and Heading: Begin with a clear title, "Application under Section 149 of the Code of Civil Procedure," specifying the court details, case number, and parties involved.

Introduction: Provide a concise introduction, outlining the purpose of the application. Such applications are used to seek the court's inherent powers for any order necessary for the ends of justice or to prevent abuse of the court's process.

Legal Basis: Clearly cite Section 149 of the Code of Civil Procedure as the legal foundation for filing the application, emphasizing the inherent powers of the court to pass orders in unforeseen situations.

Grounds for Relief: Clearly state the grounds for seeking relief under Section 149, specifying the extraordinary circumstances that warrant the court's intervention beyond the explicit provisions of the CPC.

Relief Sought: Clearly state the specific relief or order sought from the court, ensuring that it aligns with the principles of justice and fairness.

Common Mistakes to Avoid:

Vague or Broad Requests: Ensure specificity in outlining the grounds and relief sought, avoiding vague or overly broad requests that may hinder the court's understanding.

Neglecting Legal Formalities: Familiarize yourself with procedural rules governing applications under Section 149, adhering strictly to timelines and requirements.

Failure to Demonstrate Urgency: Clearly establish why immediate court intervention is necessary, demonstrating the urgency and irreparable harm that may occur without the requested relief.

Inconsistent Statements: Ensure that statements made in the application are consistent with previous submissions and legal documents to maintain credibility.

Lack of Notice to Opposing Party: Serve proper notice to the opposing party, informing them of the application and providing an opportunity to respond before the court decides on the relief.

Applications under Section 149 are vital for addressing unforeseen circumstances or gaps in the procedural framework. Following these guidelines and avoiding common mistakes ensures that the application is legally robust, effectively communicates the need for court intervention, and contributes positively to the pursuit of justice.
