Plaint & Suit Filing

The plaint, everything filed alongside it, and the interim relief.

A suit for infringement and passing off under the Commercial Courts Act is never one document. It is the plaint, eight peripheral filings the registry will not accept without, and the applications that secure interim relief on the first day. This agent drafts the set from the matter record, with the client's rights, the infringing acts and the reliefs pleaded consistently across every document.

The plaint
  • Suit for permanent injunction. Infringement, passing off, dilution and the allied causes of action, with jurisdiction, cause of action, valuation and court fee pleaded, as a CS (COMM).
The eight peripheral documents
  • Memo of Parties. Every plaintiff and defendant with the addresses for service, John Doe defendants included.
  • Suit Format. The index and formatting the Original Side registry requires.
  • Urgent Application. The request for urgent listing, with the urgency pleaded.
  • Notice of Motion. For the interim applications.
  • Statement of Truth. Under the Commercial Courts Act, verified by the plaintiff.
  • Affidavit of Service. Service on the defendants, and the mode.
  • List of Reliance. Every document the plaintiff relies on, listed and numbered.
  • Certificate of Authenticity. Under Section 63 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, for the electronic records filed.
The interlocutory applications
  • Order XXXIX Rules 1 and 2. The interim injunction, with the ex-parte ad-interim relief sought and the prima facie case, balance of convenience and irreparable harm pleaded.
  • Order XI Rule 1(4). Leave to file additional documents.
  • Exemption from typed copies. Where the originals are dim, illegible or in a foreign language.
  • Section 12A exemption. Exemption from pre-institution mediation where urgent interim relief is contemplated.

Written Statement

The defence, paragraph by paragraph, with nothing left unanswered.

A plaint has been served on your client. The written statement must answer it within the thirty days the Commercial Courts Act allows, extendable to one hundred and twenty and not a day more, and a paragraph not specifically denied is deemed admitted. This agent reads the plaint, answers every paragraph, pleads the preliminary objections and the defence, and prepares the affidavits that go with it.

Agents in this family
  • Written Statement. Preliminary objections, the reply on merits paragraph by paragraph, and the defendant's own case: prior use, honest concurrent use, delay and acquiescence, non-similarity, invalidity of the registration, and the rest as the facts support.
  • Statement of Truth. Verified by the defendant, in the form the Act prescribes.
  • Affidavit of Admission and Denial. Each of the plaintiff's documents admitted, denied, or admitted as to existence but not contents, with the reason.
Key functions
  • Every paragraph answered. The plaint's paragraphs tracked one by one, so no averment slips into a deemed admission.
  • Positions kept consistent. The denials, the preliminary objections and the defendant's own case checked against each other.
  • Grounded in the defendant's record. The defence built from the client's own documents, use and registrations, with placeholders where the record is silent.

Replication (Rejoinder)

The rejoinder, drafted against what the defendant actually pleaded.

The defendant has filed the written statement. The replication rebuts it, paragraph by paragraph, without pleading a new case and without drifting from the plaint. This agent reads the written statement against the plaint, answers each defence, and prepares the affidavits the filing needs, with the plaintiff's positions kept consistent from the first pleading to this one.

Agents in this family
  • Replication. The preliminary submissions, then the para-wise rejoinder to the written statement, reaffirming the plaint and meeting each defence on the record.
  • Affidavit in support. Verifying the replication.
  • Statement of Truth. In the form the Act prescribes.
  • Affidavit of Advance Service. Counsel's affidavit that the replication was served on the other side in advance.
Key functions
  • Written statement read against the plaint. Each defence identified and matched to the plaint paragraph it attacks.
  • No new case. The rejoinder confined to answering the defence, so it cannot be struck for pleading beyond the plaint.
  • Issue tracking. Prior use, similarity, delay, and every other issue carried consistently from plaint to replication.

03 · Capabilities

Held to the record, from the plaint to the last rejoinder.

Litigation drafting fails quietly: a position shifts between drafts, an averment goes unanswered, an authority is cited for something it never said. The suite is built against exactly those failures.

Pleadings

Built from the matter file

Plaints and civil suit drafting grounded in the facts and documents on record, not in a template's assumptions.

Written statements

Paragraph by paragraph

Every averment in the plaint tracked and answered, so nothing becomes a deemed admission by accident.

Replies

Against what was pleaded

Replications drafted against the written statement actually filed, not against the last draft you saw.

Applications

Assembled as a set

Interlocutory applications and their supporting affidavits drafted together, with the facts consistent across all of them.

Research

Authorities applied to the issue

Legal research support that pulls authorities and applies each one to the issue it was cited for.

Consistency

Issues tracked across the file

Every issue followed from plaint to rejoinder, so positions do not drift between drafts and the other side finds no gap.

04 · How the agents compound

One suit file, both sides of the exchange.

The plaint drafted at stage one is the plaint the replication defends at stage three. The written statement is answered as filed. Nothing is re-uploaded, re-explained or lost between pleadings.
