The plaintiff had also given the details of the pedigree of the plaintiffs and defendants in the plaint. It was further alleged that the plaintiff No. 2 was the pujari as well as the devotee of the said temple and had right to file the suit for injunction as the defendants were putting up construction of commercial nature in the temple premises. In the said suit, the petitioners- defendants had filed the application under Order VII Rule 11 seeking rejection of the plaint on the ground that no cause of action was disclosed in the plaint against the defendants and the suit was also not properly valued by the plaintiffs. The said application has been dismissed by the trial Court vide the impugned order.

He has submitted that the defendants were the owners of the premises in question and also performing the 'puja' of the temple.

Ponnimman Educational Trust represented by its Chairperson/managing Trustee,2012 2 WLC(SC)CVL 211, the learned counsel has submitted that the cause of action would be a bundle of facts, which would give right to the plaintiff to seek relief against the defendant, and mere recital of cause of action in one para would not be sufficient to disclose the cause of action.
