What is Caveat Petition?
A caveat is a Latin phrase that means 'let a person beware'. When a person has an apprehension that someone is going to file a case against him in the court, he can go for a precautionary measure i.e. Caveat Petition. It is a notice notifying the court that another person may register a suit or application facing him and that the court must provide the Caveator (the person filing the Caveat) a decent hearing before choosing any matter brought before it in the appropriate case.
In the civil system code of 1908, it was entered under Section 148A by the support of the law commission of India’s 54th report and was included by the CPS Act 104 of 1976.
