The contents of the notice depend upon the subject matter of your notice and the purpose for which it is issued. There is no universal format prescribed for the same. You make all the allegations urging your claim inthe legal notice and send it.

Yes it is true that there is no universal format prescribed for notice, all it depends that ur sending notice according to which sec. or Order / rule of CPC.
Following are the examples of notices send acc. to different orders / rules:
Notices by plaintiff or defendant
Notice to Produce Documents (O. 11, .R. 16)
Notice to Inspect Documents (O.11, R. 17)
Notice to Admit Documents (O. 12, R. 3)
Notice to Admit Facts (O. 12, R. 5)

Mr.Sameer is in fact correct in his approach, since the querist has asked us to suggest a notice to "the defendant" in a civil suit, which seems to be pending in the Court of Law. But unfortunately all the above experts have treated the notice meant by the querist as a mere "legal notice" (i.e., before filing the case in civil court) and replied accordingly.

I completely agree with gurunarayana rao. After filing of civil suit, court has to issue the notice to the defendant in prescribed format as given in Civil Procedure Code. In first line, the name of issuing court is given then the name/title of the case is mentioned and then the details of addressee/defendant is mentioned and then the date and time on which such defendant is required to attend the court is mentioned and at last it is warned that if defendant do not attend the court on the date mentioned therein, an x-parte decision shall be taken. This notice is issued with the stamp and seal of the issuing court.
