Procedural exigencies
The instant edition of this classic work appears by maintaining its traditional standard and reputation. It deals with the laws of pleadings and principles of adjudication to be kept in mind while drafting. However, the rules and practices of the courts may also influence the nature, form and content of the pleadings. The work is divided into three parts, the first part deals with substantive laws, whereas the second and third parts that contain model forms of plaints and major petitions are only illustrative of the substantive laws in application. The book also reflects how a slight alteration of form can duly serve one's specific purpose, quite differently from the one for which the form has been seemingly drafted. This has been done to avoid the unnecessary accumulation of the number of forms which might have swelled into a voluminous one.
Catering to new subjects
The amendments in the Code of Civil Procedure 1908 in the year 1999 and 2002 brought in changes in verification of plaints and accordingly the effect of all these amendments is discussed elaborately. In keeping with the need, the plaints have in some cases been furnished with supporting affidavit duly drafted. Addition of several new model forms, responding to the needs emerging out of amended or newly legislated Continued from front flap statutes, such as, Mental Health Act, Arbitration and Conciliation Act, Right to Information Act, Public Interest Litigation, etc. enrich the work by making it an updated piece of legal literature.
This thoroughly revised and updated edition of the utility-oriented work will be found very much helpful to every civil practitioner.
