JUDGEMENT
-
(1.) This revisional application is directed against an order dated
November 23, 2007 passed by the Civil Judge (Junior Division)
Bongaon in Title Suit no. 159 of 2004 rejecting an application under
Order 7 Rule 11 of the Code of Civil Procedure filed by the defendant
no. 1/petitioner herein. Assailing the said order the present revisional
application is filed by the defendant no. 1.
(2.) Mr. Sabyasachi Bhattacharya, learned Advocate appearing on
behalf of the petitioner submits that the trial court failed to consider
that the plaint does not disclose any clear right to sue and is
vexatious and harassive. In support of such contention Mr.
Bhattacharya relies upon a judgment of the apex court T. Arivandandam vs. Satyapal & Anr., 1977 AIR(SC) 2421
Mr. Sudhis Dasgupta, learned Senior Counsel appearing on
behalf of the plaintiff/ opposite parties submits that the scope of
Order 7 Rule 11 is limited, unless the case comes within the ambit of
such provision the court cannot reject the plaint.
(3.) Mr. Dasgupta further submits that the court cannot look into
any document/material except the plaint at the time of disposal of an
application under Order 7 Rule 11 of the Code of Civil Procedure.
Mr. Dasgupta relies upon a judgment Liverpool & London S.P.& I Association Ltd. Vs. M.V. Sea Success I & Anr., 2004 9 SCC 512 for the proposition that the plaint should not be
rejected merely on the ground that the averments are not sufficient to
prove the facts stated therein.;
