What will be the court fee to file appeal in specific performance case


09-Aug-2023 (In Civil Law)
I have filed a suite for specific performance of execution of sale of land and has paid 5 percent in adj court. The final decree has refused to grant me specific performance but has allowed me to recover my amount from defendant with interest. I want to appeal the decision in high court. Will I have to pay court fees again? And will the court fees paid in lower court will be refunded to me? Also what options do I have as the defendant will not return my money and court has not given any time limit.

Court fees has to be paid afresh. It will depend upon the the value of property and also on the relief sought by you in your suit. It varies from forum to forum. Court fees once paid is not returned. As regards the relief, you will have to file a suit for money recovery before the appropriate forum.

Yes You have to paid court fee again in High Court . You have filed execution petition for recover money according to decree.But if you want to go in high court for specific performance then you don't file the execution petition.
