Summary Suit Drafting Guide

Drafting a plaint for a Summary Suit under Order XXXVII of the CPC involves creating a formal legal document to initiate a lawsuit for the recovery of money. Below are the key elements typically included:
*. Jurisdiction and Court Details: Mention the name of the court where the suit is filed, usually based on the location of the defendant or where the transaction occurred.
*. Plaintiff and Defendant Details: Include the full names, addresses, and other relevant information of both the plaintiff (the party initiating the suit) and the defendant (the party being sued).
*. Fact Summary: Provide a concise summary of the facts, including the basis of the claim. For example, this might include details of a contract, loan, or other financial agreement that has been breached.
*. Statement of Cause of Action: Clearly outline the cause of action, explaining why the plaintiff believes they are entitled to the recovery of the money. This often involves citing specific breaches or failures by the defendant.
*. Claim for Relief: Specify the amount of money sought by the plaintiff and any additional relief requested, such as interest or legal costs.
*. Verification by the Plaintiff: Include a statement verifying that the facts presented in the plaint are true to the best knowledge of the plaintiff.
