Rule 6G of CPC : Rule 6G: Rules relating to written statement to apply.

Explanation using Example

Example 1:

Scenario: Rajesh files a lawsuit against Sunita for breach of contract, claiming damages of ₹5,00,000. Sunita, in her defense, files a written statement denying the allegations and also makes a counter-claim against Rajesh for ₹2,00,000, alleging that Rajesh failed to deliver goods as per their agreement.

Application of Rule 6G: According to Rule 6G, the rules that apply to Sunita's written statement in response to Rajesh's original claim will also apply to Rajesh's written statement in response to Sunita's counter-claim. This means Rajesh must follow the same procedural rules and timelines for filing his written statement against Sunita's counter-claim as Sunita had to follow for her initial written statement.

Example 2:

Scenario: Meera sues her neighbor, Anil, for encroaching on her property and seeks an injunction to stop the encroachment. Anil files a written statement denying the encroachment and counter-claims that Meera has blocked his access to a shared pathway, seeking a court order to remove the obstruction.

Application of Rule 6G: Under Rule 6G, the procedural rules that governed Anil's written statement in response to Meera's original claim will also govern Meera's written statement in response to Anil's counter-claim. Meera must adhere to the same rules regarding the format, content, and timing of her written statement addressing Anil's counter-claim as Anil had to follow for his initial written statement.
