The Code of Civil Procedure (CPC) is a set of laws and rules that govern civil litigation processes and procedures in a particular jurisdiction. It provides a framework for the resolution of civil disputes and ensures that parties have fair and equal opportunities to present their case in a court of law.

The CPC typically covers various aspects of civil litigation, including jurisdiction, initiation of lawsuits, service of process, pleadings, discovery, motions, hearings, trials, appeals, and enforcement of judgments. It outlines the step-by-step procedures that need to be followed by parties involved in a civil lawsuit, as well as the powers and duties of the court and other relevant authorities.

The purpose of the CPC is to ensure an orderly and efficient litigation process, promote access to justice, protect the rights of parties, and maintain the integrity of the legal system. It establishes rules and guidelines that help facilitate fair and just resolution of disputes, including rules on evidence, interpretation of laws, and conduct of parties and legal practitioners.

The specific provisions of the CPC may vary in different jurisdictions, as each jurisdiction has its own set of civil procedure rules. It is important for legal professionals and litigants to familiarize themselves with the specific code of civil procedure applicable to their jurisdiction when engaging in civil litigation.
