Pleading is a statement in legal and logical form stating something on
behalf of a party to a legal proceeding. In wider sense, pleading covers
every legal document filed in a lawsuit, petition, motion and/or hearing,
including complaint, petition, answer, demurrer, motion, declaration and
memorandum of points and authorities (written argument citing precedents
and statutes).
“Pleading” shall mean plaint or written statement. ….. [Ord. VI r. 1
of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908]
Amendment of the pleading is discretionary with the Court and ought to be
allowed in case of bonafide mistake even when the suit is barred by
limitation. ….. [Mst. Daulan vs. Dossea (1956) 8 DLR (WP) 77]
The rule of pleadings when fraud is charged requires the particulars of
fraud to be specifically stated. The mere general allegations are
insufficient and the charge of fraud must be substantially proved and when
one kind of fraud is charged another cannot, on failure of proof be
established for it. ….. [Jabed Ali Sarkar vs. Dr. Sultan Ahmed (1975) 27
DLR (AD) 78]
