Need document providing guidelines for format of text in lawsuits

Is there any document which lists the format requirement for filing a lawsuit in India? What I mean by format, is requirements such as font size, font, line spacing, margins, page size legal or A4? 

Also, is there any standard for the sections to be included in the lawsuit?

I want to file a lawsuit myself in a Court. Any help will be appreciated.

In places like tamilnadu it is essential that the suit plaint to be filed in white A4 size paper, with 14 size times new roman font only and the double space between the lines. 

It is not understodd that about whih state are you going to file this suit  hence you can enquire about it locally

What about page margin in Tamilnadu?

Supreme Court has directed all High Courts to use A 4 size white paper, typed on both sides of the page, 14 font in Times New Roman. however, it is better to visit Madras High Court website to find out all these details.

Actually I need for Maharashtra but I think it will be the same.

Some states, for example, Karnataka state has not implemented this procedure/ruling in the sub ordinate courts, hence you may better enquire from the local advocates who are well versed in the filing procedures and proceed
