Forms

AI Assist

Summary

The standard forms in the Second Schedule may be used for the purposes stated there, and you may modify them as the facts of a case require. When a scheduled form is used (with those necessary variations) it will be treated as adequate for that purpose. This is subject to the supervisory power under Article 227 of the Constitution.

Example

Priya at a police station fills a complaint form using the template from the Second Schedule but alters a few lines to match the incident. Because she used the scheduled form with those adjustments, the complaint counts as a sufficient form for filing.

Bare Act

Enacted text
