A quick definition of deceitful plea:

A deceitful plea is when someone makes a false claim in a legal case just to cause trouble or delay the process. Pleading is when people in a legal case write down their arguments and responses. There are different types of pleadings, like a complaint from the person who started the case and an answer from the person being sued. Some pleadings are not allowed, like ones that are too vague or don't make sense. It's important to be honest and clear when making a plea in a legal case.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A deceitful plea is a sham pleading made by a party in a legal proceeding, which is obviously frivolous or absurd and made only for the purpose of vexation or delay. It is also known as a false plea or a sham plea.

Example: A defendant in a civil lawsuit files a motion to dismiss the case, claiming that the plaintiff has no legal standing to sue. However, the defendant knows that this claim is false and has no basis in law. This is an example of a deceitful plea.

This example illustrates how a deceitful plea can be used to delay or frustrate the legal process, without any legitimate legal basis. Such pleas are not allowed in court and can result in sanctions or penalties for the party making them.
