Injunction Suit Court Fee in Haryana

Standalone injunction suits (without a declaration) in Haryana courts are governed by Section 26 of the Court Fees Act, 1870 (as amended by Haryana Acts 11/1974, 22/1974 and Act 16 of 2009). The court fee depends on whether the defendant denies the plaintiff's title and on the nature of the right being protected. Minimum fee is ₹200.

How is the court fee calculated?

  1. (a) Immovable property — title denied by defendant: enter 1/2 the market value. Minimum ₹200.
  2. (b) Exclusive rights (copyright, trademark, trade secrets): enter the amount at which the plaintiff values the right.
  3. (c) All other injunction cases: enter the amount at which the plaintiff values the relief sought.
  4. The Schedule I Article 1(c) slab rates with ceiling-rounding apply to whichever amount you enter. If the result is less than ₹200, ₹200 is charged.

Key points advocates must know

  • Distinguish this from a declaratory suit combined with injunction (Section 24(b)) — the valuation rule is different. If you are seeking a declaration AND an injunction together, use the "Declaratory Suit" type.
  • Temporary injunction applications (Order XXXIX CPC) have a separate fixed fee from Schedule II — they are not the same as the plaint court fee.
  • Title not denied: If the defendant admits plaintiff's title but you seek only an injunction against disturbance, Section 26(c) applies — plaintiff's valuation.
  • Courts may enhance the valuation if the plaintiff's stated amount appears low relative to the value of the right being protected.

Frequently asked questions

What is the court fee for a temporary injunction application? ▼

Temporary injunction applications under Order XXXIX Rule 1/2 CPC attract a separate fixed fee under Schedule II of the Court Fees Act, 1870 (as amended by Haryana Acts 11/1974, 22/1974 and Act 16 of 2009) — check with the court registry. This is different from the plaint court fee calculated here.

If the defendant later denies title, does the court fee change? ▼

If the suit was filed under Section 26(c) (title not denied) and the defendant subsequently files a written statement denying title, the court may call for additional court fee under Section 26(a). This is a common tactical issue advocates should anticipate.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is court fee calculated in India? ▼

Court fees in India are calculated based on the nature and value of the suit. Money and property recovery suits attract ad valorem (percentage-based) fees on the suit value. Declaratory suits, matrimonial suits, and some other categories attract fixed fees. Each state has its own Court Fees Act with its own schedule — there is no single uniform national schedule.

What happens if I pay less court fee than required? ▼

The court will return the plaint for payment of deficit fees. You must pay the deficit and re-present the plaint. The date of re-presentation (not the original date) is treated as the date of institution — this can critically affect limitation if you are close to the deadline. Always calculate accurately and, when in doubt, pay slightly more (the court will not object).

Are court fees the same across all courts in a state? ▼

Generally yes — the state's Court Fees Act applies uniformly across all civil courts within the state. However, High Court original jurisdiction suits may have a separate fee schedule. Tribunals (NCLT, DRT, DRAT) and consumer forums have their own separate fee structures under their respective statutes.

Can court fees be waived for indigent litigants? ▼

Yes. Order XXXIII of the Code of Civil Procedure allows indigent persons to file suits without court fees. The court examines the plaintiff's financial position. If declared indigent, the fee is recoverable from the defendant if the suit succeeds. Some states also have exemptions for women litigants, SC/ST parties, government bodies, and legal aid cases.

Are court fees refundable? ▼

Generally no — court fees are non-refundable once paid. Some state Acts provide a partial refund if a suit is settled by compromise before the first hearing. Check the specific provision in your state's Court Fees Act. Consumer forum fees may also be partially refundable in certain circumstances — verify with the specific forum.
