INTRODUCTION
Very often we have heard that the Indian Judiciary is deliberated as an overburdened institution in lieu of the rising no. of pending cases before the courts. It has been observed that the abuse of the process of law has also been a significant contributing factor to the pendency of cases in the Indian courts. The courts are also observing the fact that how parties resort to tactics such as filing frivolous and vexatious suits and engage in dilatory tactics to prolong the litigation process.
The kind of procedure that has been ensured to serve justice is being continuously misused when the parties exacerbate the backlog of cases and hinder the efficient administration of justice. Such misuse not only clogs the court with non-meritorious matters but also undermines the integrity of the legal system.
Further this broader term would be discussed in line with the code of civil procedure,1908.
