WRITTEN STATEMENT
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.

1) It is submitted that the defendant has gone through the averments made
in the plaint and affidavit filed in support of the plaint. The averments,
which are not specifically admitted, are denied. The Plaintiff is put to strict
proof of the same. Most of the averments are not correct and false and the
suit is not maintainable.
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
notice are vague and false. Since I did not approach the plaintiff for any
hand loan and executed promissory note, I did not choose to reply the
notice. Hence, the allegations in the notice are denied.
4) In reply to para III (3) of the plaint, it is submitted that I did not borrow
any amount from the plaintiff and executed promissory note in favor of
him. The allegation of the plaintiff is false and I need not bound to pay any
amount to the plaintiff. It is not correct to say that I have borrowed a sum
of Rs.45,000/- from the plaintiff and executed a promissory note in favor
of him.
5) In reply to Para III (4) of the plaint, it is submitted that since there is no
amount is borrowed from the plaintiff and executed pro-note, the figures
of outstanding stated in para therein is false and fabricated one.
6) It is submitted that I have never approached the plaintiff for any amount
said to have been borrowed by me and executed pro-note. Since we reside
in the same street and due to rivalry between our two families regarding
some disputes relating to colony problems, the plaintiff has fabricated the
pro-note and filed the present suit alleging that I have borrowed a sum of
Rs.45,000/- from plaintiff and executed a pro-note.
The plaintiff is trying to mislead this Hon’ble Court and made false
allegations in the plaint.
7) The other allegations of the plaint which are not specifically admitted
herein are denied. The plaintiff is put to strict proof of the same.

the appellant U/Sec 411 I.P.C and sentencing him to U/go, 6 months R.I.

Respected Sir/Madam,
The appellant most respectfully submits the
appeal on the following groungs:
2. That the Judgement of the lower court offends Sec. 367 of the Cr.P.C.
3. That the learned magistrate should have inferred from the conduct of
your petitioner deposed to by the investigating officer, that he was
absolutely straight forward in his dealings. The conduct of your petitioner
as has been deposited to by P.Ws. No. 52 and 4 would hardly be consistent
with his guilty knowledge.
5. That the learned Magistrate should have bellered that the articles were
purchased bonafide for proper market price and inferred from that the
absence of any guilty knowledge of your
petitioner.
6. That the articles sold were common articles of everyday use to be found
in possession of people of even modest means.
8. That the learned Magistrate should have believed the defence witnesses
who disposed to having seen the articles sold to the appellant some five
months prior to the incident.
9. That the Lower Court ought to have given the benefit of responsible
doubt to the appellant and acquitted him.
PRAYER
In the circumstances stated above, the petitioner prays that your honour
may be pleased to admit the appeal, call for the record.Release your
petitioner pending disposal of the appeal on bail and after hearing the case,
set aside the order of conviction and sentence or pass such other order as

RESPECTFULLY SHEWETH
That the learned president Magistrate convicted the applicant and one MK
SHA under the mentioned section and sentenced him to undergo Vigorous
imprisonment for a period of four month and to pay a five of Rs.100 or in
default to undergo further R.I. for 15 days. Being aggrieved by the
aforesaid order, your petitioner begs to more the Hon’ble court in its
Revisional Jurisdiction on the following.
Grounds
4. The learned magistrate has erred in not complying with the mandatory
provisions of the Cr. P.C. whereby an opportunity to explain away the
circumstances appearing against them
was refused.
5. The learned magistrate has not maintained a full record of the evidence
and hence certain admissions by the prosecution given in their cross
examination are not available.
…………………………
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.
