Pleading are intended to put forth the case of the parties before court.

Pleadings constitute
the basis for the litigation. By the pleadings, the point at issue between the parties should
be clear and ambiguous. The opposite party is made known of the case of the other party
by the pleadings. While drafting the pleadings there should be no attempt to concealment
of the relevant facts. Astuteness in drafting is necessary. But it should not go to the extent
of putting the opposite party to surprise. From the pleadings, either party should be able
to know what his opponents case is and what case he has to meet. The parties should get
a fair idea from the pleadings as to what disputes involved in the case effectually and
completely. Proper pleadings would enable the court to raise proper issue for trial. It
would enable the parties to adduce proper evidence. It would enable the court to decide
the case effectually and completely. Proper pleadings would also avoid delay and
minimize the expenditure of litigation. It is the duty of the lawyer to ensure that correct
facts are brought before the court. He should ensure that wrong facts, calculated to
mislead the court are not pleaded. Judicial Pronouncements are effect to the effect that
without proper pleadings, any amount of evidence is of no use and that such evidence
shall not be looked into by the court. (AIR 1930 PC 57, AIR 1966 SC 1861, `1984 KLT
