Section 124 of The Code of Civil Procedure, 1908

Committee to report to High Court.

Every Rule Committee shall make a report to the High Court established at the town at which it is constituted on any proposal to annul, alter or add to the rules in the First Schedule or to make new rules, and before making any rules under section 122 the High Court shall take such report into consideration.

Summary

The Rule Committee is responsible for creating a report on any proposal to change the rules.
This includes reports on any plans to cancel, alter, or add to the existing First Schedule rules.
The High Court must carefully consider this report before it uses its power to make any new rules.
This process ensures that the committee's expert advice is taken into account before procedural laws are finalized.

Practical examples

2Before the High Court judges vote to change a court rule, they sit down to read and discuss the findings from the Rule Committee. They do this to comply with Section 124 of the 1908 law, which says they must consider the report first.
