धारा 80 सी. पी. सी. सरकार को सूचना: यह क्या है

A Section 80 notice is the written notice the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 requires before you file a suit against the Central Government, a State Government, or a public officer for something done in their official capacity. It tells them who you are, what went wrong and what relief you will claim, and you then wait two months before filing. A suit filed without it, or too early, can fail on that ground alone.

जब आपको इस दस्तावेज़ की आवश्यकता होती है

• You intend to sue a Government department for money owed, compensation, a declaration or an injunction.
• You intend to sue a public officer for an act done in their official capacity.
• A Government body has withheld a refund, a payment or a benefit you are entitled to, and you plan a civil suit rather than a writ petition.

• Your name, description and place of residence.
• The cause of action: what was done or not done, by whom and when.
• The relief you will claim in the suit.

इसके पीछे का कानून

Section 80(1) of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 bars a suit against the Government or a public officer, for an act done in official capacity, until two months after a written notice stating the name, description and residence of the plaintiff, the cause of action and the relief has been delivered to the authority the section names. Section 80(2) allows an urgent suit without notice, with the court's leave, and Section 80(3) saves a notice with formal errors if it identifies the plaintiff, reached the right office and states the cause of action and relief sufficiently. Section 15(2) of the Limitation Act, 1963 excludes the notice period from limitation. Section 80 applies to suits, not to writ petitions.

बचने के लिए आम गलतियाँ

• Addressing the notice to the wrong officer, for example a junior officer instead of a Secretary or the Collector.
• Leaving out the relief, or describing it so vaguely that the Government cannot act on it.
• Filing the suit before two months have passed from delivery.
• Keeping no proof of the date of delivery.
