Some interesting issued to be resolved in cpc

(4) If the defendant enter appearce the plaintiff shall thereafter serve on the defendanrt a summon for judgment s in Form No.4A in appendix B or such other form as may be perscribed from time to time, returnable an ten  days from the date of service supported by an affidavit verifying................................

The wording of this provisions is very cvlear , but in some court some issues arises hen plaintiff filed the printed  out suumon in form no.4A  in Appndix B for the judge tp sig and seal  to be ser sd on the defendant, as some feels that it is the court which has to prepared the summon in Form No.4 A in Appendix B. and not by the plaintiff. Ther are some opinion thert it is a crime for the plaintiff to print out the summon as enivisaged in Form No.4a in Appendix B and file in  the o t.

I want to know  whether plaintiff has to file the printed form to be sign and seal by the judge  in Form No.4A in Appendix B., or whether that is Judge duty to print out the summon and served on the defendant. I am of the view that the plaintiff has to prepare the summon in Form No.4A in appendix B and not the judge or either way it will be legal. Kindly share your views with decided case if any. Thanking you all in advance.

I am refering to Order 37 Rule 3 of Sub Rule 4 of the Civil Procedure Code.

Summons are always  to be prepared  and issued  by the courts, a  summon is a legal document that is issued by a Court on a person involved in a legal proceeding.

The alngauge of the Summon under No. 4   in Appndex B is itself explanatory; as the format has been provided it is courts duty to fill the the details and issue under its seal . 

The words used in Rule 4 Order 37,  are the plaintiff shall thereafter serve,,,,means the summons prepared and issued by court to be served on defendant ...

Yes, I agree with you, but is there any harm if the plaintiff typed out the Form No4A and submits to the court to obtain summon for judgment?.

Like Summon in  Form No.4 in Appndix B under Order 37 Ryle 2, which is signed by the Judge, should Form No.4A in Appendiz B, a;lso be signed by the Judge?

YES OF COURSE AS THE THE SAME IS AN ORDER ISSUED BY COURT....

Real Soul, do you think that format looks like a sort of Notice or a plaint? and without mentioning the Judge? or is it a Legislative  mistake/author mistake etc?
