Application of rigorous pleading standards similar to Order VI Rule 4 CPC

A person alleging that a registered deed is a sham must satisfy a rigorous standard of pleading akin to Order VI Rule 4 CPC, meaning clever drafting and the mere ritualistic repetition of words like fraud or sham creating an illusion of a cause of action will be unraveled by the court.
