About this template
What is this template?
This is a sworn statement of truth required to accompany a plaint in Indian civil courts. It is not the plaint itself, but a mandatory verification that the facts alleged in the recovery suit are accurate to the best of the Deponent's knowledge.
When should you use it?
Use this when filing a suit for recovery of money or debt in an Indian court to comply with Order VI Rule 15 of the CPC. Use an Affidavit of Service instead if you are proving that the summons was delivered to the defendant.
What's inside
