Quick Summary

In a civil case for land possession, only one of two defendants filed a counter claim, while the other submitted only a written statement. The question is whether this counter claim benefits both defendants or just the one who filed it. Generally, a counter claim's applicability depends on the specific relief sought and its relation to the other defendant.
