After criminal code, is it the turn of civil code to get a makeover?

India had 5.6 million pending civil lawsuits under CPC and 1.2 million pending enforcement petitions as of 6 October, according to the National Judicial Data Grid.

The Centre is considering a plan to remake India’s Civil Procedure Code (CPC) that outlines the procedure for civil suits following the recent overhaul of the country’s criminal codes, two people aware of the matter said.
