there is no such provision in C.P.C, but u can do it through "Trots". there is a case in which the court put the exemplary damage on police in Bhim singh Vs State of J&K, in this the petitioner did't get any damage, but awarded by 50,000 as exemplary damage to wrongfully detained by police.another important case Ashby vs white.

The Court of Civil Procedure governs the procedure to be followed by the court while dealing with the mattter. Suit for damage will be filed in the same way any suit for title etc. are filed. The amount mentioning the damage depends upon you and your social status. On the amount mentioned in the damage suit you will have to submit court fee. I doubt damage suit of an amount of Rs.1/- will be admitted by the court or not, court may not admit the suit on the ground of unreasonableness.

may be Re. 1/- is un-reasonable??????? file the case in person, don't appoint any advocate, pray the judge u don't want money but  justice and only justice,  Re.1/- is symbolic..... money cannot bring back ur reputation................... actually i m doing the same thing against my tenant....... take ur chance..

If you want justice go to criminal court. There is no justice procedures in civil but compensations

Anuragji, have u filed teh suit against your tenant or are planning to do that

If u have already filed I would liek to know whether you succeeded in claiming Just Rs 1/- as compensation?
