education needs. The Defendant also proposed to execute a Promissory
Note for the said amount and with a simple interest @ 10% p.a. Due to
that acquaintance, the Plaintiff agreed for the same and thus, the defendant

Promissory Note for the said amount in favor of the Plaintiff and promised

3.The Plaintiff submits that the Defendant having borrowed the amount of
Rs.45,000/- (Rupees Forty Five Thousand only) as hand loan and having

who is entitled for interest on the suit amount from the date of demand i.e.

DRAFTING PLEADING AND CONVEYANCE Page 2


1st January, 2016 till realization @ 10% p.a. As the Defendant is avoiding

Plaintiff is entitled to sue the defendant.

4.The Plaintiff submits that The Defendant is liable to pay the following
outstanding amount:

Therefore, the Defendant has to pay a total sum of Rs.54,000/- (Rupees
Fifty Four Thousands Only) to the Plaintiff as on the date of filing of the
present suit. Hence, this suit.

IV. CAUSE OF ACTION : The cause of action for the suit arose on
01.01.2017 when the Defendant borrowed the amount and executed pro-
note and on 01.01.2019 when the Plaintiff got issued a legal notice to

V. VALUATION: The relief of recovery of money is paid thereon and the


same is sufficient.

SUIT FOR RECOVERY OF MONEY

I, Kushal Kumar, S/o Sunder Lal, Aged 45 years, Occ: Business R/o.
D.No. 161, Ramiya Road, VARANASI at present residing at this given
address, do hereby solemnly declare and affirm on oath as under:

1. It is submitted that the Defendant having an acquaintance with the

WRITTEN STATEMENT

Written statement is the defense of the defendants. A defense called the


written statement ,in general this is a reply of plaint ,in which defendant
deny or admit the each and every allegation or facts given in the plaint.

DRAFTING PLEADING AND CONVEYANCE Page 7


Denial or admission must be Para wise and clear. In the written statement
defendant can put his case also under the heading additional plea, and can
states new facts or ground which is necessary to defeat the opponent. If
defendant wants to put his own claim against the plaintiff he can put it by
way of set- off and counterclaim u/o 8 Rule 6 and 6A of C.P.C.

Order VIII provides for the filing of a written- statement, the particulars to
be contained therein and the manner of doing so. It requires what a written
statement should contain. Before drafting the written statement it is the
duty of the defendant to study the plaint thoroughly and all the documents
submitted by the plaintiff with the plaint in support of his claim. After the
thorough study of the plaint and supported documents a Para wise answer
of the plaint can be prepared. Order VIII of the Code of Civil Procedure
deals with the written statement set off and counter claim. The defendant
shall, within thirty days from the date of service of summons on him,
present a written statement of his defense:

Provided that where the defendant fails to file the written statement within
the said period of thirty days, he shall be allowed to file the same on such
other day, as may be specified by the Court, for reasons to be recorded in
writing, but which shall not be later than ninety days from the date of
service of summons.

Three things are clear. Firstly, a careful reading of the language in which
Order VIII, Rule 1 has been drafted, shows that it casts an obligation on
the defendant to file the written statement within 30 days from the date of
service of summons on him and within the extended time falling within 90
days. The provision does not deal with the power of the Court and also
does not specifically take away the power of the Court to take the written
statement on record though filed beyond the time as provided for.

Secondly, the nature of the provision contained in Order VIII, Rule 1 is


procedural. It is not a part of the substantive law.

DRAFTING PLEADING AND CONVEYANCE Page 8


Thirdly, the object behind substituting Order VIII, Rule 1 in the present
shape is to curb the mischief of unscrupulous defendants adopting dilatory
tactics, delaying the disposal of cases much to the chagrin of the plaintiffs
and petitioners approaching the Court for quick relief and also to the
serious inconvenience of the Court faced with frequent prayers for
adjournments. The object is to expedite the hearing and not to scuttle the
same. The process of justice may be speeded up and hurried but the
fairness which is a basic element of justice cannot be permitted to be
buried.

3) In reply to para III (2) of the plaint, it is submitted that the notice issued
by the plaintiff was received by me on 15.01.2019. The contents of the

PETITION FILED ON BEHALF OF THE PETITIONER ACCUSED


UNDER SEC. 409 OF IPC

Sir, Ma’am,

Applicant most humbly apply for his release on bail on


following reasons:

1. That the accused was arrested on 05.11.2011 by the Chandragiri


Police on a charge U/Sec 409 I.P.C. the main complaint against
him being that he being the V.A.O. of Peruru village and as such
DRAFTING PLEADING AND CONVEYANCE Page 39
being a public servant failed to maintain and show accounts for a
sum of Rs. 3,000/- to the Government Treasury.
2. That though offence is non-bailable taking into consideration the
fact that, the amount involved is only Rs. 3000/- it is highly
probable that there must be some honest mistake on the part of the
accused for no one would think of Misappropriating such a small
amount as Three Thousands.
3. That the accused is a respectable old man of 60 and is certainly not
going to abscond. Moreover his family is resident in the village for
over 40 years. His pensions and provident fund all came to more
than Rs. 7000/- and the missed amount will be compensate by the
accused soon. Due notice of this applications is given to the Police.

PRAYER

Therefore, it is most respectfully prayed that the said accused may be


granted bail and released from the policy custody where he is for the
last 45 days.

CONCLUSION

The art of drafting the pleadings has not yet fully developed in spite of the
increase in the civil litigation. As a matter of fact, the art of pleading
should be the foundation course and great emphasis should be laid on this
paper. Because of this absence of rigorous training, the young lawyers
often indulge in prolixity rather than clarity and conciseness.

Irrelevant matters, unnecessary details are often included and the facts
placed before the lawyer by his client are not marshaled. The result is that
the martial facts are often mixed up with inessential matter.

Pleading is an art, of course, and art which requires not only technical and
linguistic skill but also an expert knowledge of the law on the given point
brought before a lawyer. However, in the matter of pleadings longer
experience and a great linguistic acumen are both essential ingredients.
What ultimately matters is how clearly and systematically have the facts
been presented before the court of law. It is a matter of common
knowledge that when a person comes to seek the assistance of the court of
law in any matter, he has to prepare a statement of his claims, and the facts
on which such claims are founded. Such statements fully drawn up, setting
out all contentions, are called "pleadings". Thus pleadings are the
foundation of all sorts of litigation; no judicial system in the world can do
justice in any matter unless and until the court of justice is fully aware as
to the claims and contentions of the plaintiff and of the counter claims and
defenses of the defendant.

The administration at justice was separated from the executive and


assigned to the court of law. Complexity of resulted in enormous
litigation, and oral hearing of the ancient times became almost impossible.
Scribes used to keep records of all the proceedings gradually this
procedure was also abandoned and the litigants were allowed to bring their
claims and contentions duly drawn up to file them before the Hon’ble
courts.
