A quick definition of amicable suit:

An amicable suit is a type of legal case where the parties involved agree to settle their dispute in a friendly and cooperative manner. This means that they will not use unnecessary legal procedures or technicalities, and will admit to facts that they know to be true without requiring proof. The purpose of an amicable suit is to resolve a conflict without causing unnecessary expense or delay. It is also sometimes called an amicable action or test case, and is often used to establish an important legal principle or right.

A more thorough explanation:

An amicable suit is a civil or criminal proceeding that is settled by the parties involved without the need for a trial. It is also known as an amicable action or test case. In an amicable suit, the parties agree to conduct the case in a friendly manner, without unnecessary technicalities or forms. They also mutually admit facts that they know to be true, without requiring proof. This type of suit is encouraged because it facilitates the administration of justice between the parties.

  • Two neighbors have a dispute over a property line. Instead of going to court, they agree to hire a surveyor to determine the correct boundary. They then settle the matter amicably, without the need for a lawsuit.
  • A group of citizens brings a lawsuit against the government to establish the right to protest peacefully in a public park. They agree on the facts and present the case to the court as a test case. The court's decision will establish an important legal principle or right for all citizens.

These examples illustrate how an amicable suit can be used to resolve disputes without the need for a trial. The parties involved agree to work together to find a solution that is fair and just for everyone. This type of suit can save time and money, and it can also help to maintain good relationships between the parties involved.
