V. RAMASUBRAMANIAN, J.

This regular appeal filed under Section 96 of the Code of Civil Procedure, arises out of a judgment passed by the trial Court rejecting a plaint under Order VII Rule 11 of the Code.

2. Heard Sri. M.V Durga Prasad, learned counsel for the appellant, Sri. P. Veera Reddy, learned senior counsel for respondents 1 to 3 and Sri. M.V.S Suresh Kumar, learned counsel for the respondents 4 to 6. The respondents 7 to 10 herein, who were also the applicants along with the respondents 1 to 6 herein in the application for rejection of plaint filed before the trial Court, have been served with summons. But they have not chosen to enter appearance. The respondents 11 to 17, 20, 23, 24, 26 to 28, 31, 34 to 41, 46 to 58, 60 to 65, 67, 69, 70, 74, 75, 77, 78, 80 to 82, 84, 86, 88 & 89 have all been served with summons. Some of them have entered appearance through counsel, but others have chosen to remain unrepresented. But for the purpose of disposal of this appeal, the presence of respondents 1 to 10 is what is material, since it is their application for rejection of plaint, which was allowed by the trial Court, forcing the plaintiff to come up with the present appeal.
