Written statement of the defendant-tenant in an eviction suit IN THE COURT OF THE SMALL CAUSES JUDGE, Civil Suit No./----------------- 200_ Shri __L N D _ Plaintiff Versus Shri T N T _ Defendant A WRITTEN STATEMENT OF THE DEFENDANT The defendant above-named submits this statement, praying to state as follows: That the contents of para 1 of the plaint are true and correct, and hence, admitted by this defendant. That the contents of para 2 of the plaint are likewise true and correct, and hence, call for no comments. That the contents of para 3 of the plaint are partially true and partially false, and the defendant submits that the said amount of rent is Rs, 150/- is inclusive of all other charges and taxes. That the contents of para 4 of the plaint are baseless, false and frivolous, and while denying the same, this defendant submits that the defendant time and again offered the amounts of rent to the plaintiff, but it was the plaintiff alone who refused to accept the same. That with respect to the remaining contents of the said para 4 of the plaint, this defendant also submits for the kind consideration of this Hon'ble Court that the defendant has so far sent to the plaintiff as many as six money orders which were refused by the plaintiff, and hence, the defendant committed no default on that count. That the contents of para 5 of the plaint are denied by this defendant, and this defendant submits that the plaintiff be put to the strict proof of the same. That the contents of para 6 of the plaint amount to a sheer piece of fabrication on the part of the plaintiff, and this defendant brings to the kind notice of this Hon'ble Court that it is the plaintiff alone, and not this defendant, who has constructed a big bungalow at Kothrud, and since he himself shifted his own residence there for the last more than three years, he has never turned up even to collect the rent of the suit property or to pay a visit to the premises in his own possession there, and, thus, the plaintiff does not require any premises, much the less the suit premises. That the contents of para 7 of the plaint are misleading, and the particulars of money claim are wrongly calculated. That the contents of para 8 of the plaint to the effect that the suit premises were taken for the purpose of running dispensary but subsequently, the defendant changed the user thereof by converting the same for residence of his family are wrong and misleading, and this defendant submits that the said premises were taken only for the purpose of residence and no other use. That the defendant furthermore submits that there was no cause of action for the plaintiff to file the present suit against the defendant. That the defendant also submits for the kind and sympathetic consideration of this Hon'ble Court the very fact that the plaintiff has malicious plans and designs to make money by disposing of the suit property, and hence, he has been trying to make out a false case. That the defendant, therefore, prays that - (A)The suit of the plaintiff be kindly dismissed with costs; (B)The costs of this defendant, be awarded from the plaintiff; and (C)Any other orders in the interest of justice be kindly passed.

- Guidelines for Foreign Collaboration Proposals
Guidelines for Foreign Collaboration Proposals The Central Government has issued the following guidelines in connection with the formulation of proposals and agreements of foreign collaboration: i Alternative sources.-The collaborator should explore, to fullest extent possible, alternative sources of technology, evaluate them from a techno-economic point of view and furnish reasons for preferring a particular technology and the source of import. iii) Other arrangement.-There should not be any restriction on the Indian Company in the matter of procurement of capital goods, components, spares, raw materials, pricing policy, selling arrangement, etc. ii Sub-licensing.-The Government expects that the technical collaboration agreement should generally not prohibit sub-licensing of the know-how, product-design or engineering design under agreement, to other Indian parties. Such sub-licensing, when it becomes necessary, is subject to terms to be mutually agreed by all parties concerned, including the foreign collaborator, and is subject to the approval of the Government. The collaboration agreements should not place any export restrictions to countries except where the collaborator has a sub-licensing agreement. iii Minimum royalty.-There should be no requirement for the payment of a minimum guaranteed royalty regardless of the quantum and value of production. iv Exports.-To the fullest extent possible, there should be no restriction on free exports to all countries. v Brand names.-There should be no provision for the use of the foreign brand names on the products for internal sale, although there is no objection to their use on products to be exported. vi Training-Research and development.-Adequate and suitable provisions should be made for the training of Indians in the fields of production and management. There should be adequate arrangement for research and development, engineering design, training of technological personnel, and other measures for the absorption and adoption and development of the imported technology. Such measures can be undertaken through in house facilities of the entrepreneur or in collaboration with recognised engineering design consultancy, research and development organisations in the public or private sectors, and recognised scientific and educational institutions where the necessary facilities exist. vii Consultancy service.-In case any consultancy is required to execute the project, it should be obtained from an Indian engineering consultancy firm. If a foreign consultancy firm is also considered necessary, an Indian consultancy firm should, nevertheless, be the prime consultant. viii Patent laws.-If the proposed item of manufacture is to be covered by a patent in India, it should be ensured that the collaboration agreement includes a clause to the effect that the payment of royalty for the use of the patent rights till the expiry of the life of the patent, and that the Indian party would have the freedom to produce the item even after the expiry of the collaboration agreement without any additional payment. ix Indian laws.-Collaboration agreements will be subject to Indian laws. x Extensions.-Government does not favour requests for extensions of the duration of collaboration proposals. All efforts should, therefore, be made to assimilate the technology within the initial duration of the agreement. Guidelines for Foreign Collaboration Proposals Download Word Document In English.
