ABSTRACT
Courts worldwide have long upheld the notion that litigants ought to be thoughtful of and respectful of the court's precious time. Numerous provisions have been incorporated into the various civil codes across the globe to guarantee that litigants uphold a minimal level of deference towards the court and opposing parties by refraining from filing frivolous lawsuits. However, litigants and their legal counsels have consistently discovered means to get around these provisions, engaging in the filing of lawsuits under pretenses that would have otherwise been avoided. In this article, I express a similar concern about a provision in India's Civil Procedure Code (CPC).
