What is a Civil Case?

A civil case is the one having civil nature of dispute between the parties. There are many kinds of civil cases which are mainly governed under the code of civil procedure, 1908 in Pakistan. Civil cases usually take longer time because many of them demand reconciliation and agreements between the parties to some extent. Another aspect is that the remedy in civil cases is mostly in shape of damages or they demand acts which should be done in consequences. Parties are usually not penalized in the civil cases which makes them longer.
Code of civil procedure, 1908 is an obsolete act and it should also be repealed. There are many flaws in this enactment which delay the process of justice. The civil cases keep lingering on and in most of the cases the plaintiff dies because his/her entire life is wasted fighting a civil case.
Some of the examples of civil cases include partition matters, suits for declaration, suits for permanent injunctions, suits against personal wrongs, suits under the law of torts, suits related with specific performance of contracts, succession matters and so on.
