Order XXXVII is the summary suit procedure designed for quick recovery of debts and liquidated demands. Unlike regular suits, the defendant cannot file a written statement as of right — they must first convince the court that they have a triable defence and obtain 'leave to defend'. If no leave is granted, the plaintiff gets judgment immediately. This is widely used in commercial and banking disputes for faster resolution.
