The document discusses pleadings in a legal case. Pleadings include the plaint filed by the plaintiff outlining their cause of action, and the written statement filed by the defendant responding to the plaintiff's claims and presenting any defenses. Pleadings must state only material facts, not law or evidence. Courts may allow parties to amend pleadings under certain terms and conditions. A plaint can be rejected if it does not disclose a cause of action, the relief claimed is below the court's value, if it is insufficiently stamped, or if the suit is barred by limitation. Summons are issued by the court calling a person to appear, and must contain their full name, case details, court address, and office seal











Presentation by Ramanand Karwa from Shri Shivaji Law College, detailing legal pleadings in LLB 3rd year.
Pleadings are written statements by each party in a case, outlining their contentions; defined under Order 6 Rule 1.
Plaint refers to the written claim filed by the plaintiff, detailing the cause of action with necessary particulars.
W.S. is the defendant's written response to the plaintiff’s claim, addressing material facts and legal objections.
A pleading must state facts, not laws; focus on material facts; and must be concise without evidence.
Definitions in pleadings: Facta probenda (facts needed to be proven) and Facta probentia (evidence of facts).
The court permits alterations to pleadings at any stage if necessary to clarify the real question in issue.
