no you don’t have to pay any fees because if their is any default in court fee than your case is not filled and not a single hearing was possible but for deep detailed information is only given after reading your case so for more details connect with me

if you have filed a petition under Section 406 IPC regarding saman vapisi as stridhan, then you have not been required to pay any court fees, but if you file a civil suit for recovery of your stridhan then you have to pay court fees on the value of goods. however, generally, lawyers advise filing a criminal case in spite of a civil suit. you can call me whenever you want anything else without any hesitation

If you are seeking recovery and refund of dowry amount, as per Court fee Act, you have to give ad valorem court fee as per suit valuation i.e total value of your dowry amount. Non filing of court fee is one of the ground of rejection of case/ plaint.
