Section 35A (b) provides for a limit of Rs.3,000 that can be imposed or less than Rs.3,000.
In view of the above in routine court proceedings while dismissing an application under section 151 Cpc, can the Courts impoe a costs of Rs.5,000 payable to Legal Aid higher than the limited prescribed under Section 35(A)(b) CPC.
