Mulla's The Code of Civil Procedure has stood the test of time, for over a century. First published in 1900, it has evolved through successive editions and continues to maintain its stature till day. Its enduring relevance is evident from the fact that it is still authoritatively cited by judges and lawyers not only in India but also in jurisdictions such as the United Kingdom, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, and Kenya. The 21st edition builds upon this rich legacy. In addition to updating case law, this edition addresses areas of judicial ambiguity by commenting on conflicting Supreme Court decisions and offering balanced observations to aid readers in forming a comprehensive understanding. The chapter on appeals, particularly the commentary on sections 96 and 100 of the Code has been reorganized for clarity and coherence.
