Ordinarily it is assumed that Law is known to everyone. Especially the Judges. So its an accepted practice to not plead law in the petition / averments.
In my opinion, specific provisions of law under which relief is sought, may be referred to in the PRAYER clause. Here in prayer clause one can connect the facts and averrments as pleaded and consequent remedy that lies in provisions of law.
Do go for a more seasoned opinion. As I am myself a learner.
