o    File requisite amount of procedure--- fee in the court.

o    File 2 copies of plaint for each defendant in the court, i.e. if there are 3 defendants, 6 copies has to be filed.

o    Of, the 2 copies for each defendant, one shall be sent by Register / post / courier, and one by Ordinary post.

o    Such filing should be done within 7 days, from date of order / notice

WRITTEN STATEMENT

  • When the notice has been issued to the defendant, he is required to appear on the date mentioned in the notice.
  • Before such date, the defendant is required to file his "written statement", i.e. his defense against the allegation raised by plaintiff, within 30 days from date of service of notice, or within such time as given by court

Written statement/Counter Claim, then
the court will settle issues to be tried, then conduct trial by
adducing evidence of both sides, arguments, judgment. In between these
steps there will be catena of Interlocutory applications, which will
tend to slow the progress of the case but they will render supplimetary
reliefs to the parties. In a nutshell procedure in civil cases is easy
to read and understand but hard to practice and tend to be slow in
pace. Am I right friends?

Every court have some protocols.


InHon'ble Delhi High Court the petituioner will have to serve the copies to the standing council before being admitted in the court (which is 2 number)


One can file the C.M application with the petition to get the interim relief(In case of Writ )


In District forums the the complainanat will have to serve the copy Petition by Dasti and have to submit original proof innext hearing which may proves that the same is duly served
