    Question

    Which court in India is responsible for handling civil cases like property disputes, divorce and consumer problems?

    A.

    Civil Court

    B.

    Sessions Court

    C.

    Criminal Court

    D.

    Revenue Court

    Correct option is A

    The correct answer is: (a) Civil Court

    Explanation:
    • Civil Courts deal with non-criminal matters such as property disputes, divorce, contracts, and consumer issues.
    • They handle cases involving rights, obligations, and compensation, not punishment.
    • These courts function under the Civil Procedure Code (CPC), 1908.

    Information Booster:
    • Civil cases focus on disputes between individuals or organisations.
    • Appeals from Civil Courts go to the District Court or High Court.
    • Civil Courts cannot give imprisonment; they provide relief, injunctions, or compensation.
    • Consumer cases are often handled by Consumer Commissions, but broadly fall under civil jurisdiction.

    Additional Knowledge:
    Sessions Court – Handles serious criminal cases (murder, rape, etc.).
    Criminal Court – Deals with offences under IPC and CrPC.
    Revenue Court – Handles land revenue matters like land records, tenancy, and mutation—not civil disputes.
