Solve the paper first, under exam conditions and against the clock. Then read the answers here and mark your own. Reading a solution before attempting the question feels productive and teaches very little, because recognising an answer is not the same as being able to write one.
Q.1
Q.1: Answer any six questions in one or two sentences
12 Marks - 2 marks each
(a)Who is an Indigent person?[2]
Answer
An indigent person is a person too poor to pay the court fee, who may be allowed to sue without paying it. The definition is in Explanation I to rule 1 of Order XXXIII of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908. A person is indigent:
- if he is not possessed of sufficient means, other than property exempt from attachment in execution of a decree and the subject-matter of the suit, to pay the fee prescribed by law for the plaint; or
- where no such fee is prescribed, if he is not entitled to property worth one thousand rupees, again excluding exempt property and the subject-matter of the suit.
Property he acquires after applying and before the decision is counted (Explanation II). One who sues in a representative capacity is judged by the means he has in that capacity (Explanation III). The question is inquired into first by the chief ministerial officer of the court (rule 1A).
Two leading cases.
- In Union Bank of India v. Khader International Construction (2001) 5 SCC 22 the Supreme Court held that "person" in Order XXXIII includes a company. A juristic person may also sue as indigent.
- In Mathai M. Paikeday v. C.K. Antony (2011) 13 SCC 174 a retired forest officer with a pension, whose son worked abroad, claimed to be indigent. The Court held that "sufficient means" means the ability to raise money by lawful means in the ordinary course, and he was not indigent.
