Examination of plaintiff on oath.— Where the plaint does not contain the particulars specified in section 6 or is unnecessarily prolix, or is otherwise defective, the Mamlatdar shall examine the plaintiff upon oath and ascertain from him such of the particulars specified in section 6 as are not clearly and correctly stated in the plaint or are necessary for rectifying the defects noticed in the plaint, and shall reduce the examination to writing in the form of an endorsement on or annexure to the plaint which shall thereupon be deemed to be part of the plaint. The record of such writing shall be read over or translated to the plaintiff in a language understood by him and his signature obtained thereon. Where the plaintiff requires time to obtain any of the particulars specified in section 6 or to rectify the defects the Mamlatdar shall grant him such time as may under all the circumstances appear reasonable.
