I have chosen only those cases in which a new principle of law has been laid down or which has some interesting features of procedure and practice. It was a very difficult task to select and make this handpicked compendium of cases in 18 stages of Civil Trial.

Every advocate who has joined the profession shall attest make an endeavour to have a grasp of 18 stages of Civil Trial, this according to me is a basic fundamental knowledge which ever advocate shall possess irrespective of the specialization he chooses to practice thereafter.

We often come across special statutes of law, is also an admitted fact that not every Statute lays down detailed procedure for conduct. Thus, in the absence of any procedure CPC, 1908 applies and is applied.
