Section 35A specifically targets false or vexatious claims/defences by awarding compensatory costs to the innocent party. Section 35 deals with general costs of litigation (discretionary), Section 35B allows costs for causing delay, and Section 36 covers the right to immediate execution. The distinction matters: S.35 is about ordinary litigation costs, while S.35A is punitive — it compensates the party who was dragged into defending against a frivolous claim.

1. 1 Pick up CPC.
2. 2 Check Section 35 → general costs. Close but not compensatory.
3. 3 Check Section 35A → 'Compensatory costs in respect of false or vexatious claims or defences.' ✓ Found it.
4. 4 Section 35B = costs for delay. Section 36 = execution.

The text reads: Section 35A CPC: The Court may award compensatory costs to the party against whom a false or vexatious claim or defence has been made.
