This query is : Resolved
I have query related to Consumer Courts.
While filing case, if a few landmark judgements are quoted therein, in support of the complaint; is it necessary to attach complete judgements or summary of judgements along with said complaint OR judge(s) and opposite parties are supposed to unearth them from net or AIR kind of volumes, for their own reference?

@ Skeptical Optimist,
The judges shall hardly do the research work for you. Either of the option will work.However, if the copy of judgment is filed with final arguments shall be better.

A petition in any legal proceedings constitute the pleadings. Pleading need contain only facts and legal grounds. The question of citations, if any, is relevant only during hearing.

As far as the complaint is concerned, it should contain only your grievances and the relief or remedy you are seeking through court which shall be in the form of pleading. Therefore the question of judgement r citation does not arise at this stage. This can be produced at the time of final argument when you present your grievances in the form of arguments taking the assistance of similar reliefs given by various courts/commissions in this regard to support and substantiate your complaint/case.
So do not be over enthusiastic in the beginning itself, allow the trial to take place properly.
