General Guidelines
In the Indian legal system, pleading and writing play crucial roles in presenting a
case before the courts effectively. Here are some essentials of a good pleading
and writing:
1. Clarity and Conciseness: Pleadings and written submissions should be

clear and concise, avoiding excessive legal jargon or convoluted language.
The purpose is to communicate the case's facts, arguments, and legal
principles in a straightforward manner that can be easily understood by the
court.
2. Structure and Organization: It is essential to organize the content of
pleadings and written submissions in a logical and coherent manner. This
includes using headings, subheadings, and paragraphs to present
arguments and supporting evidence in a structured format. A well-
organized document helps the court and opposing parties understand the
case's key points and follow the line of argument.
3. Precision and Specificity: Pleadings and written submissions should be
precise and specific in their language. Vague or ambiguous statements can
lead to confusion and weaken the case's impact. It is important to clearly
state the facts, legal provisions, and arguments relied upon, providing
sufficient details and references where necessary.
4. Factual Accuracy: Pleadings and written submissions must be factually
accurate. Care should be taken to verify the facts and ensure their accuracy
before presenting them to the court. Providing accurate information builds
credibility and strengthens the case's foundation.
5. Legal Research: Effective pleading and writing require thorough legal
research to support the arguments being presented. Relevant case laws,
statutes, and legal principles should be identified and cited appropriately.
Demonstrating a sound understanding of the legal framework enhances the
persuasiveness of the submissions.
6. Persuasiveness and Logic: Pleadings and written submissions should be
persuasive, employing logical reasoning and compelling arguments. Each
point should be supported by relevant legal authority, facts, and evidence.
It is important to anticipate and address counterarguments and provide
well-reasoned responses.
7. Compliance with Court Rules: Pleadings and written submissions should
adhere to the procedural rules and guidelines prescribed by the court. These
rules govern the formatting, filing, and service requirements, such as page
limits, font size, citation style, and deadlines. Non-compliance with court
rules can lead to rejection or dismissal of the documents.
8. Professionalism and Respectful Tone: Pleadings and written
submissions should maintain a professional and respectful tone towards the
court, opposing parties, and their counsel. Avoiding inflammatory language
or personal attacks helps maintain decorum and credibility. Politeness and
respect go a long way in building a favourable impression with the court.

General Power of Attorney

A General Power of Attorney (GPA) is a legal document that authorizes a person
(known as the "principal" or "grantor") to grant another person (known as the
"agent" or "attorney-in-fact") the authority to act on their behalf in various legal
and financial matters. The GPA is a versatile instrument that allows the agent to
make decisions and carry out transactions on behalf of the principal.
Purpose: The purpose of a General Power of Attorney is to provide a legal

framework for delegating authority and empowering the agent to act on behalf of
the principal in a wide range of legal, financial, and administrative matters. The
GPA allows the principal to grant specific powers and responsibilities to the agent,
thereby facilitating the smooth execution of transactions and decision-making
processes.
Essentials:

1. Principal's Details: Include the full name, address, contact information,
and any other relevant identification details of the principal (the person

attorney, whether it is for a specific period or until it is revoked or

the powers granted to the agent. This may include restrictions on specific

or terminate the power of attorney at any time, upon written notice to the
agent.

Special Power of Attorney

A Special Power of Attorney (SPA) is a legal document that grants a person (known
as the "agent" or "attorney-in-fact") the authority to act on behalf of another
person (known as the "principal" or "grantor") in specific, defined matters or
transactions. Unlike a General Power of Attorney, which grants broad authority, an
SPA provides limited and specific powers to the agent.
Page 30 of 47
Purpose: The purpose of a Special Power of Attorney is to authorize an agent to
act on behalf of the principal in specific, defined matters or transactions. The SPA
allows the principal to delegate specific powers and responsibilities to the agent,
granting them the authority to perform certain actions or make decisions on the
principal's behalf. This enables the smooth execution of specific tasks and
transactions, while providing the principal with control over the extent of the
agent's authority.

and any other relevant identification details of the principal (the person
granting the power of attorney).

attorney).

attorney, whether it is for a specific period or until it is revoked or

or terminate the power of attorney at any time, upon written notice to the
agent.

attested by two or more witnesses, as per the requirements of the
applicable law.

threatened violation of fundamental rights guaranteed under the Indian
Constitution or other statutory rights.
