Differences between Plaint and Written Statement

    Plaint

    Plaint is defined in order 7 of CPC. The specifics in a plaint are covered by Rules 1 through 8 of Order 7. The process for a plaint being admitted is outlined in Rule 9.

    A legal document known as a "plaint" comprises a written assertion of the plaintiff's claim. A lawsuit's initiation process begins with a plaint. It could be regarded as a statement of claim or as a document by whose presentation the lawsuit is started. The word "plaint," though, is not defined in the code. It is the plaintiff's pleading.
The plaintiff must make factual allegations about his cause of action in the plaint. Every detail, including the facts supporting the relief the plaintiff hopes to get, is contained in the plaint that is submitted to a civil court with adequate jurisdiction.

Written statement

    Order VIII deals with rules relating to written statement.

    The Code doesn't define the phrase "written statement." However, it refers to the defendant's pleadings in which the defendant addresses the facts charged in the plaint. He also sets forth fresh facts, a counterclaim, and a set-off in it. Written statements are subject to all the broad principles of pleading outlined in Rule VI.
