The court system in India is hierarchical, with the Supreme Court being the highest court of the land. The Supreme Court has the power of judicial review and is the final court of appeal for all cases in India. Below the Supreme Court are the High Courts, which are the highest courts in the state. The High Courts have appellate jurisdiction over the decisions of the lower courts within their respective states. The subordinate courts in India are the District Courts, the Session Courts, and the Metropolitan Courts. These courts are responsible for hearing cases related to civil and criminal matters that arise within their respective jurisdictions. The District Courts are primary civil courts in India and have original jurisdiction in civil cases within their specific districts.
The concept of a plaint is particularly relevant in commercial and civil matters that are dealt with by commercial or civil courts. However, it is also true that the process of filing a plaint can be time-consuming, which can lead to dissatisfaction among people. In my opinion, the concept of a plaint is necessary for ensuring that the court has all the necessary information to make a well-informed decision. However, the regulations under the provisions of the CPC can be challenging to understand, particularly for a layman. Therefore, simplifying the regulations and reducing the complexity of the process can make it easier for people to file suits. Instead of scrapping the concept of plaints, it is essential to reduce the regulations under several provisions of the law to make it more accessible and understandable for the general public.
Advocates are authorized to file suits and plead cases in court, while counselors can only provide advice on legal issues and cannot file a suit. Advocates are registered under the Bar Council of India, whereas counselors are not. Additionally, counselors can represent lawyers in court. It is important to understand the roles and responsibilities of advocates and counselors in order to navigate the legal system effectively
