3. Pauper Suit (Suits by Indigent Persons):

The statutory provisions for filing a "pauper suit," now referred to as a "suit by an indigent person," are primarily found in Order XXXIII of the Code of Civil Procedure (CPC), 1908.

 * Objective: To ensure that a person's economic status does not prevent them from accessing justice. It allows individuals who do not have sufficient means to pay the required court fees to institute a suit.

 * Who can file: Any person who is unable to pay the court fees prescribed for the suit can apply to sue as an indigent person.

 * Definition of Indigent Person (Rule 1, Order XXXIII):

   * A person is considered indigent if they are not possessed of sufficient means (other than property exempt from attachment in execution of a decree and the subject-matter of the suit) to pay the court fee.

   * Where no such fee is prescribed, if they are not entitled to property worth a specified amount (currently often interpreted as a nominal amount like ₹1,000, excluding necessary wearing apparel and the subject-matter of the suit).

 * Procedure for Filing (Rules 1-4, Order XXXIII):

   * An application must be made to the court for permission to sue as an indigent person.

   * The application should contain the same particulars as a plaint in a regular suit, along with a schedule of any movable or immovable property belonging to the applicant with its estimated value.

   * The application must be presented to the court by the applicant in person, or by an authorized agent if the applicant is exempted from personal appearance.

   * The court may examine the applicant or their agent regarding the merits of the claim and the property of the applicant.

 * Inquiry into Indigency (Rule 1A, Order XXXIII): The court may direct the chief ministerial officer to inquire into the means of the applicant.

 * Rejection of Application (Rule 5, Order XXXIII): The court can reject the application if:

   * It is not framed and presented properly.

   * The applicant is not an indigent person.

   * The applicant has entered into an agreement with a third party regarding the subject matter of the suit, whereby the third party has an interest in the outcome.

   * The suit appears to be vexatious or frivolous.

   * The applicant has transferred any property with the intention of avoiding payment of court fees.

 * Permission to Sue as Indigent Person (Rule 7, Order XXXIII): If the court finds the applicant to be an indigent person and there is no other reason to reject the application, it will grant permission to sue as an indigent person.

 * Consequences of Permission (Rule 8, Order XXXIII): The application is then numbered and registered as a plaint, and the suit proceeds in the regular manner. The indigent person is exempt from paying court fees and certain other expenses initially.

 * Recovery of Court Fees (Rule 11, Order XXXIII): If the plaintiff succeeds in the suit, the court will calculate the amount of court fees that would have been paid if they had not been permitted to sue as an indigent person, and this amount may be recovered from the defendant or out of the property recovered in the suit.

These statutory provisions in the IPC, CrPC, and the CPC (specifically Order XXXIII) are fundamental to the Indian legal system, defining crimes, outlining criminal procedure, and ensuring access to justice for all, including those who are financially disadvantaged.
