Question

Plaint legally refers to a statement of

• A. claims in which the plaintiff sets out his cause of action with all necessary particulars
• B. claims in which a witness sets out his cause of action with all necessary particulars
• C. claims in which the advocate sets out his cause of action with all necessary particulars
• D. claims in which the authority sets out his cause of action with all necessary particulars

Hint:

To easily remember civil procedure terms:
- Plaint is filed by the Plaintiff.
- Written Statement is the response filed by the Defendant.
This dual pairing is the foundation of civil litigation pleadings!

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Locate the term in civil law.
A "plaint" is a foundational term under the Code of Civil Procedure (CPC), 1908, used to initiate a civil suit.
Step 2: Apply the definition.
A plaint is a written statement filed by the plaintiff (the party who files the suit) setting out the cause of action along with all necessary particulars to support the claim.
Step 3: Eliminate wrong options.
A plaint is not filed by a witness, advocate, or authority - it is exclusively the plaintiff's statement of claims.
