GUIDELINE

Guidelines for Drafting Application under Order 38, Rule 5, CPC:

Heading and Title: Begin with a clear title, "Application under Order 38, Rule 5, CPC," specifying court details, parties involved, and case number.

Introduction: Provide a concise introduction, outlining the purpose of the application under Order 38, Rule 5, such as seeking security before judgment due to the defendant's potential to dispose of assets.

Factual Background: Present a brief and clear account of the facts leading to the need for security and explain how the defendant's actions pose a risk to the satisfaction of the decree.

Legal Basis: Clearly cite Order 38, Rule 5, CPC, as the legal authority for seeking security before judgment and explain why it is necessary in the given circumstances.

Prayer for Relief: Specify the relief sought, emphasizing the amount and nature of security required, and highlight its connection to the potential loss or disposal of assets.

Common Mistakes to Avoid:

Vague Allegations: Ensure the application provides specific and factual details about the defendant's actions that necessitate seeking security.

Lack of Legal Basis: Clearly identify the legal basis for seeking security under Order 38, Rule 5, avoiding vague references.

Incomplete Details: Include all relevant details about the case, the potential risk, and the specific assets at risk.

Ignoring Procedural Rules: Adhere strictly to procedural rules and timelines, avoiding any oversight that may hinder the court's prompt consideration.

Failure to Establish Urgency: Clearly articulate the urgency and irreparable harm that would result without the grant of security before judgment.

By following these guidelines and avoiding common mistakes, a well-drafted Application under Order 38, Rule 5, CPC can effectively secure assets before judgment in situations where the defendant's actions may jeopardize the satisfaction of the decree.
