| Lawmann's Civil Legal Drafting by Adv. Dr. Pooja Agarwal is a practical drafting manual that follows a civil suit through its whole life - from the institution of the suit to execution proceedings. Edition 2027. It sets out the documents a civil practitioner actually has to produce: plaints, written statements, interim and miscellaneous applications, affidavits, appeals and execution petitions, with the forms and language a court expects. Drafting is the part of civil practice that decides how a case begins and how it ends, and it is the part least taught in the classroom - a plaint that omits the cause of action or a relief, or an execution petition that fails to identify the property, causes trouble long after it is filed. Written for advocates, law students, judicial service aspirants and legal professionals practising under Indian procedural law. |

Civil Legal Drafting — Comprehensive Drafting Guide from Institution of Suit to Execution Proceedings by Adv. Dr. Pooja Agarwal, published under the Lawmann's imprint of Kamal Publishers, is a practical drafting manual that follows a civil suit through its entire life. This is the Edition 2027.
Drafting is the part of civil practice that decides how a case begins and how it ends, and it is the part least taught in the classroom. A plaint that omits the cause of action or a relief, a written statement that fails to deny a material averment, or an execution petition that does not properly identify the property — each causes trouble long after it is filed, and often cannot be cured. This book is organised around getting those documents right.
What the Book Covers
The chapters follow the sequence of a civil proceeding:
- Institution of the suit — the plaint, its essential particulars, cause of action, jurisdiction, valuation and court fee, parties and reliefs
- Written statement — denials, set-off and counter-claim
- Interim and miscellaneous applications — injunctions, attachment before judgment, appointment of receiver, amendment of pleadings, condonation of delay, impleadment and substitution
- Affidavits — form, verification and the material an affidavit may contain
- Issues, evidence and the course of trial
- Appeals, revisions and reviews
- Execution proceedings — the execution petition, modes of execution, attachment and sale, and objections

Why Choose This Book?
Most drafting books are collections of forms with little explanation, or textbooks on pleading with few forms. What a practitioner needs is both together and in order: the document required at each stage, what it must contain, and why.
Following the suit from institution through to execution is what makes this book useful. Execution is where civil litigation is won or lost in practice — a decree is worth what can be recovered under it — and it is the stage most drafting guides treat last and least.
