Definition of on the pleadings
Definition: A judgment made based on the information provided in the complaint and answer, without considering any evidence or arguments. This is also known as summary judgment.
Example: If someone sues another person for not paying back a loan, and the defendant files an answer admitting that they did not pay back the loan, the judge may make a judgment on the pleadings without needing to hear any evidence or arguments.
This means that the judge can make a decision based solely on the information provided in the complaint and answer, without needing to go through a full trial. This can save time and money for both parties involved in the case.
Where you see wrong or inequality or injustice, speak out, because this is your country. This is your democracy. Make it. Protect it. Pass it on.
