A filing fee is the amount of money you must pay to the court to begin your court case. The amount of money you have to pay depends on the court and the type of case. You may have to pay other filing fees at certain times during your case. The court clerk can give you a list of all the filing fees for your court case so you know the total cost.

1. You are going to challenge the impugned order passed by the court below before the High Court.

2. No court fee based on the value of your claim shall be required to be paid to High Court.

3. Here you are just challenging the order passed by the lower Court.

4. Tenant also will not be required o pay any such extra amount for challenging the said order passed by the lower Court.

Hello

The case can be appealed in the hc. The tenant will be the opposite of course. He does not have to pay at the outset but costs MAY be imposed upon him if the court finds out that he obtained the order from the lower court by fraud, or by misleading the court.

1. Court fees differs in every state. Like in WB the highest court fees is Rs.50,000/-.

2. So if you are aggrieved with the part of judgement as regards costs you can prefer an appeal challenging only the cost part .

3. Generally for preferring an appeal the court fees is a fixed sum of money.

This is my response to you:

1. The court fee will be as per the market value of the property;

2. You can file the appeal in the High Court;

3. Showcase how you have suffered mental and physical agony;

4. If you proof that you have suffered monetary losses then charge for the same;

5. Ask the other side to pay your legal expenses;

6. Take assistance of a High Court lawyer dealing specifically on the Appellate side.

The court fee is a state subject.

It differs from one state to another across the country.

If you want to prefer an appeal then you may have to pay the appropriate court fee, similarly the tenant has to pay the court as applicable for his appeal,

You may enquire your advocate about the court fee applicable for preferring the appeal.

If the tenant wants to prefer an appeal then he may have to pay the court fee alone and may not be required to deposit any amount from the award amount provided the court instructs him to do so.

I want to challenge impugned order from 9 lacs to 15 lacs

tenant has filed an injunction order I contested and dismissed ( I want to claim costs on this )

It is your rights to prefer an appeal against the judgment by which you are aggrieved.

You can decide about preferring an appeal agaisnt the cost factor alone.

1. It is most unlikely that HC would enhance the cost. You may end up wasting your money. Costs is the discretion of the court. Unless you demonstrate that discretion was not exercised in a judicious manner you cannot succeed in the HC.

2. Be that as it may, a local lawyer alone can tell you what the court fee would be.

3. Tenant too has to pay the court fee according to the State Stamp Duty Act.
