Civil suit file karte waqt valuation aur court fee ko log formality samajh lete hain, jabki yahi starting me problems create karta hai. Har suit ka “value” law ke hisaab se nikalna padta hai – money recovery, property possession, declaration, injunction – sabka alag formula hota hai.
Common galti: jan-bujhkar value kam dikhana taaki court fee kam lage. Short term me sasta lagta hai, lekin defendant objection uthata hai, court enquiry karati hai, aur saara case technical issues me atak jata hai. Kabhi-kabhi to plaint amendment, extra fee, aur delay sab ek sath milte hain.
Property matters me market value, circle rate, rent capitalisation, yeh sab relevant ho sakte hain. Money suits me principal + interest ka breakup sahi dikhana zaroori hai. Injunction suits me sometimes notional valuation rules apply hote hain; wahaan bhi statute follow karna padta hai.
Safe approach: local court rules dekho, experienced counsel se valuation karao, aur fee sahi laga do. “Chalo abhi itna daal dete hain, baad mein dekh lenge” wali thinking future me bohot mehengi pad sakti hai.
