https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=170104 Sections 83 to 87B of the Code of Civil Procedure form a connected scheme on suits by and against foreign States. Section 86(1) imposes a statutory bar on suits against a foreign State's recognised head unless the Central Government consents, and the expression "Ruler of a foreign State" was read to include the recognised head of any foreign State, whether monarchical or republican. The statutory protection was treated as a legislative modification of sovereign immunity, so municipal courts must apply the consent requirement directly and need not rely on international law immunity. In the absence of Central Government consent, the suit could not be entertained. en-us Thu, 05 Aug 1965 00:00:00 +0530 Sat, 16 May 2015 16:22:33 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=170104 Sections 83 to 87B of the Code of Civil Procedure form a connected scheme on suits by and against foreign States.
