Rule 16 of CPC : Rule 16: Striking out pleadings.

Explanation using Example

Example 1:

Ravi files a lawsuit against his neighbor, Suresh, claiming that Suresh's dog has been causing a nuisance. In his pleading, Ravi includes a paragraph alleging that Suresh is involved in illegal activities unrelated to the dog nuisance issue. Suresh's lawyer files a motion under Rule 16 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, requesting the court to strike out the irrelevant and scandalous allegations about illegal activities. The court agrees that these allegations are unnecessary and scandalous, and orders them to be struck out from the pleading.

Example 2:

Meena sues a construction company for damages caused to her property due to negligent construction work. In her pleading, she includes detailed and repetitive accusations that the construction company has a history of poor workmanship in other unrelated projects. The construction company's lawyer argues that these details are frivolous and only serve to embarrass the company, delaying the fair trial of the suit. The court, upon reviewing the motion, decides that these allegations are frivolous and orders them to be struck out to ensure a fair and timely trial.
