Bṛhaspati Smṛti
The defendant's formal answer to a plaint, classified into denial, confession, special plea, and plea of former judgment.
When a plaint of this kind has been framed by the plaintiff, the defendant should then give a reply that is connected to that plaint.
Denial, confession, a special plea, and a plea of former judgment are declared by the knowers of the sacred treatises to be the four kinds of reply.
37 --> Encompassing the plaint, essential, unambiguous, not confusing, and intelligible without explanation—this, those who know it, know to be a reply.
Kātyāyana Smṛti
The defendant's formal answer to a plaint, classified into four valid types and numerous defective forms.
Admission, denial, a special plea, and a plea of former judgment—thus, the reply is of four kinds.
