It is a Latin phrase which means &#8220;let a person beware\u201d. In law, it is regarded as a notice, and the court is prohibited from taking certain acts without first notifying the person who provided the notice. It is often used in probate and property matters to prevent a party from taking certain actions until the matter can be fully heard and decided. The concept of caveat petition is incorporated under Section 148-A of the Civil Procedure Code, 1908. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A caveat is a legal document filed with a court or government agency to give notice that someone has an interest in a particular matter or property. Thus, the concept of a caveat petition is founded on the rule of <strong>Audio Alteram Partem<\/strong><sup><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Audi_alteram_partem\"><strong>[1]<\/strong><\/a><\/sup>, which means that the other party should be heard before any adverse decision is passed against him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_can_lodge_Caveat_Petition\"><\/span>Who can lodge Caveat Petition?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A caveat petition can be lodged by any person who has an interest in a property and wants to prevent any action from being taken on the property without their knowledge or involvement. This can include anyone who has a legal claim or interest in the property, such as a potential buyer, a creditor, or a family member. A caveat petition can be filed by any person who claims to have a potential or existing interest in the subject matter of a proceeding, even if they are not a party to the proceeding. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if a person believes that they have a potential claim to a property that is the subject of a pending lawsuit, they can file a caveat petition to ensure that they are notified before any action is taken on the property. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> The court held that the caveat application is substantive in nature as even a third party to the suit but not a stranger to the suit can file the caveat if it has the right to appear before the court. But a complete stranger to it cannot file an application in court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_caveat_application_can_be_lodged\"><\/span>Where caveat\napplication can be lodged?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A caveat petition can be filed in any court of original as well as appellate jurisdiction. Thus, it can be filed in Civil Court, Appellate Court, High Court, or Supreme Court if the caveator anticipates facing legal action soon. Examples of civil courts include Tribunals, Forums, Court of Small Causes, and Commissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The court concluded in <em>Deepak Khosla<\/em> v. <em>Union of India &amp;Ors<\/em> that Section 148A of the Code only applies to civil proceedings and that a caveat cannot be entered against a petition filed under the Criminal Procedure Code or a petition filed under Article 226 of the Indian Constitution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The process for filing a caveat petition may vary depending on the jurisdiction.
