DID YOU KNOW that a summary suit under Order 37 of the CPC provides a mechanism whereby a person can claim a liquidated debt without having to undergo a long-drawn trial, as long as the defendant does not have a triable case? A triable case is one where there is a fair dispute as to the meaning of document forming basis of the claim; uncertainty in payable amount; or the need for cross-examination or plaintiff interrogation. Notably, mere set off or a counter claim does not make the amount payable uncertain and is therefore not a triable issue for summary suits.
