The City Civil Court – Procedures, Jurisdictions, and Types of Cases
JURISDICTION
- The City Civil Court similar to the other civil courts is governed by the Code of Civil Procedure.
- 1908. The City Civil Court is subordinate to the District Court which in turn is subordinate to the High Court.
- The difference between the jurisdiction of the City Civil Court and the Small Cause Court is that the City Civil Court may also try all suits of the civil nature which are mentioned in the Schedule II of Provincial Small Cause Courts Act, 1887 which cannot be tried by the Small Cause Court.
- The City Civil Courts in Bombay can handle matters which involve sums upto Rs. 1 crore. Anything exceeding that shall be heard by the High Court of Bombay under its Original Jurisdiction. This Rule is specified in the Bombay High Court (Appellate Side) Rules, 1960.
PROCEDURE & DOCUMENTS
The procedure and the documents required in the City Civil Court are the same as those required by the Small Cause Court of that State. Again these documents and procedures are specified in Order II & VII of the Civil Procedure Code, 1908 and have been discussed in the Small Cause Courts Section.
COURT FEES
The Court fees to be paid by the applicant while filing a suit in the City Civil Court is specified either in that State’s High Court Rules or a law passed by the state government specifying the court fees.
For example: In Bombay the court fees for City Civil Courts is specified in Schedule-I appended to the Bombay Courts Act, 1959.

I have a city Civil Court case pending. The total value of transaction was less that Rs. 10 lacs. Its a pure case of a business transaction.
In either even, what kind or order or decree can I expect at the close of the case. Actually it qualifies for closure.

The suit is very much maintainable in Bombay City Civil, Bombay as the cause of action has arose at Napeansea Road which falls under the jurisdiction of Bombay City Civil Court even tough the Defendant resides in the jurisdiction of Dindoshi Court. The place of cause of action is taken into account and not where the defendant resides while deciding the jurisdiction.
