Analysis of the Provisions
This section is as per Article 300 of the Constitution, as indicated by which the Government of India may sue or be sued by the name of the Union of India and the Government of a State may sue or be sued by the name of the State. It should be noticed that Section 79 is an uncovered procedural arrangement, and along these lines doesn't manage the rights and liabilities enforceable by, or against the public authority. This section gives no reason for activity except for just announcing the method of the technique when the reason for activity emerges.

The core of the arrangement expresses that at whatever point an argument is documented against a government or in the event that it is recorded by the public authority, the offended party and the respondent who will be named for the situation is as per the following:

1. At whatever point the argument is established by or against the focal government, the Union of India will be addressed as the necessary offended party or litigant individually
2. Whenever the suit is documented by or against the state government, the state will be needed to go about as the offended party or the litigant.

At the point when the suit identifies with a specific branch of a State, the legitimate course is to implement the State through the Secretary of that division. A suit or allure against Indian Railways which is claimed by Central Government or State Government, ought to be documented against Union of India or the State and it won't be important to implement a specific official of the Railway Administration.

Section 79 sets out the strategy whereby the suits are brought by or against the public authority and yet, it doesn't manage the rights and liabilities enforceable by or against the public authority body.

RCKC Nath and Co., it was held that words like 'dwell' or 'reside' or 'carry on business' which are referenced in Section 18, 19 and 20 of code, don't have any significant bearing to the public authority.

On the off chance that the railroad is controlled by the Union of India or a State, at that point any suit to authorize a case against rail line organization can be brought against the Union of India or State, and this may exclude making the rail line organization a piece of the suit. Yet, then again at whatever point there is a necessity for a suit for cargo for conveying merchandise, at that point such a suit can be initiated by the Union of India, and this was held in the landmark case of Union of India v. RC Jall.


On account of Secretary of State v. Rustom Khan, there was a huge perception made in regards to the obligation to be sued, under Section 79 of CPC. No suit could lie against the East India Company in regard to the demonstration of state or demonstrations of sway, and subsequently no suit in regard of such demonstrations would be competent.

This section clarifies that the Government of India or the Government of a State can sue or be sued by a juristic personality. The Supreme Court has explicitly proclaimed that the procedural law strikingly determines the circumstance where the Government is needed to be made involved with the suit and set up points of reference to express that if the Government isn't made a gathering, the prosecution in the particular cases can't be sought after.

The Apex Court has seen that the necessity contained inside Section 79 of the Code Of Civil Procedure, 1908 are not simply a procedural custom, but rather are basically a matter of substance and importance, whereby the extraordinary arrangements identifying with how the Central Government or the State Government may sue or be sued has been demonstrated.

As for the foundation of a suit against a public official concerning the demonstration done by him in his authority limit, there is again a requirement for issuance of notice with respect to something similar.

Further, the notification ought to be served two months before the organization of the suit and it ought to be ensured that such a notification was conveyed or left at the workplace of:

1. At whatever point the body of evidence is against the focal government, and it doesn't identify with the railroads at that point, the notification ought to be conveyed to the secretary of the public authority.
    
2. At whatever point a body of evidence has been initiated against the focal government and it identifies with the rail routes at that point, the notification is to be served to the senior supervisor of that rail line.
    
3. At whatever point the body of evidence is organized against any of the state governments at that point, the notification is to be served either to the secretary to that administration or to the party of the area.

Additionally, the notification is needed to pass on to its beneficiaries adequate data to empower him to think about the case, which was held in Union of India v. Shankar Stores . The previously mentioned specifics ought to be given so that it empowers the specialists to recognize the individual giving the notification.

As the prerequisite of the notification is simply procedural and not considerable, and for what it's worth to support the public official or the public authority, it is available to government and public officials to postpone it. On the off chance that the litigant needs to depend on the weakness of the notification, it is for him to raise a particular issue on the point, this was held on account of Lalchand v. Union of India .

Considering more lucrative suggestions:
The Code doesn't recommend any configuration for the notification, which makes ambiguity. Simply giving a rundown of required substance of the notification isn't adequate. A set organization will make the interaction smoother and revoke the uncertainty covering the necessities of the substance.
