EXTENT AND APPLICABILITY OF CPC

THE CIVIL PROCEDURE CODE

EXTENT AND APPLICABILITY

The civil procedure code extends to the whole of India except in the state of Nagaland and tribal areas, provided that the concerned state government may, by notifying in the official gazette, extend the provision of this code either to the whole state or part of the state of Nagaland or such tribal areas.

Jammu and Kashmir was also exempted from the applicability of the civil procedure code but after 2019, the civil procedure code became applicable in Jammu and Kashmir also due to the revocation of Article 370 of the Indian Constitution.
