Explanation:
Section 9 of the Code of Civil Procedure (CPC), 1908 grants civil courts the authority to hear and decide all suits of a civil nature, unless expressly barred by law. This means that, by default, any dispute involving private rights and liabilities can be adjudicated by a civil court unless a specific statute excludes its jurisdiction.
