The Bank Of Rajasthan Ltd. vs Sh. Pala Ram Gupta And Anr. on 17 October, 2000

17. Article 1 in Schedule I of Court-fees Act, 1870 provides for written statement pleading a set-off to be levied with court-fee. Since the written statement claiming set-off is to be treated as plaint in a cross-suit under said Sub-rule (2) of Rule 6 of Order VIII, CPC, the plea of set-off has to be raised specifically in written statement and the plaintiff is expected to file written statement thereto. Indisputably, neither the plea of set-off had been raised by the defendants in written statement nor have they paid court-fee thereon. Admissions made in para 17 of the written statement to averments made in para 17 of plaint cannot be treated as a claim for set-off made by the defendants as urged on their behalf. Having reached this conclusion, claim for the amounts allegedly incurred by the defendants on construction of a strong room and providing certain other facilities exclusively meant for banking purposes as also the rent w.e.f. 1st January, 1976 onwards need not be examined in this case. Decisions in Andhra Paper Mills Co. Ltd. and Cofex Exports Ltd. (supra), which deal with the provisions of Rule 6, Order VIII, CPC, have no applicability to the facts of this case.
