Shri___________L___N___D___ _ Plaintiff

Versus

Shri__________T__N___T___ _ Defendant

AWRITTENSTATEMENTOF THE DEFENDANT

The defendant above-named submits this statement, praying to state as follows:

  1. That the contents of para 1 of the plaint are true and correct, and hence,
    admitted by this defendant.
    2.That the contents of para 2 of the plaint are likewise true and correct, and hence, call for no
    comments.
  2. That the contents of para 3 of the plaint are partially true and partially false, and
    the defendant submits that the said amount of rent is Rs, 150/- is inclusive of all
    other charges and taxes.
  3. That the contents of para 4 of the plaint are baseless, false and frivolous, and while
    denying the same, this defendant submits that the defendant time and again offered
    the amounts of rent to the plaintiff, but it was the plaintiff alone who refused to
    accept the same.
  4. That with respect to the remaining contents of the said para 4 of the plaint, this defendant
    also submits for the kind consideration of this Hon’ble Court that the defendant has so
    far sent to the plaintiff as many as six money orders which were refused by the plaintiff,
    and hence, the defendant committed no default on that count.
  5. That the contents of para 5 of the plaint are denied by this defendant, and this defendant
    submits that the plaintiff be put to the strict proof of the same.
  6. That the contents of para 6 of the plaint amount to a sheer piece of fabrication on the part
    of the plaintiff, and this defendant brings to the kind notice of this Hon’ble Court that it is the
    plaintiff alone, and not this defendant, who has constructed a big bungalow at Kothrud, and
    since he himself shifted his own residence there for the last more than three years, he has
    never turned up even to collect the rent of the suit property or to pay a visit to the
    premises in his own possession there, and, thus, the plaintiff does not require any
    premises, much the less the suit premises.
  7. That the contents of para 7 of the plaint are misleading, and the particulars of money
    claim are wrongly calculated.
  8. That the contents of para 8 of the plaint to the effect that the suit premises were taken
    for the purpose of running dispensary but subsequently, the defendant changed the user
    thereof by converting the same for residence of his family are wrong and misleading, and
    this defendant submits that the said premises were taken only for the purpose of
    residence and no other use.

10.That the defendant furthermore submits that there was no cause of action for the plaintiff
to file the present suit against the defendant.
11.That the defendant also submits for the kind and sympathetic consideration of this
Hon’ble Court the very fact that the plaintiff has malicious plans and designs to make money
by disposing of the suit property, and hence, he has been trying to make out a false
case.
12.That the defendant, therefore, prays that –

(A)The suit of the plaintiff be kindly dismissed with costs;
(B)The costs of this defendant, be awarded from the plaintiff; and
(C)Any other orders in the interest of justice be kindly passed.
