Q: What is the time duration of caveat in civil procedure code ?

Ans: As provided by the section in 148A clause 5, the caveat stays in force for a period of 90 days. If within these 90 days an application is filed, then the court as well as the applicant, has to give a notice to the caveator. However, if no caveat is filed within these 90 days, then no one has the duty to inform the caveator, i.e. if the application is filed after the expiration of such period the caveat stands null and void. If the caveator still wants to be informed then a fresh caveat needs to be lodged for the next 90 days.
