SHAMPA SARKAR
Subhas Kumar – Appellant
Versus
Mani Square Limited – Respondent
JUDGMENT :
(Shampa Sarkar, J.) :
1. The revisional application arises out of an order dated March 6, 2024, passed by the learned Judge Commercial Court at Alipore in T.S. (Com) No. 48 of 2023. By the order impugned, the Learned Court rejected an application under Order 7, Rule 11, read with Section 151 of the Code of Civil Procedure. The application was registered as I.A. No.05 of 2023. It was filed by the defendant Nos. 2 to 6/petitioners.
2. The petitioners herein prayed for rejection of the plaint. The learned Court was of the view that the questions of limitations, non-disclosure of cause of action etc., were mixed questions of law and fact and should be decided on evidence. Upon a meaningful reading of the plaint, the learned Court opined that the plaint disclosed a cause of action. Whether the plaintiff would ultimately succeed or not, would be a matter of trial and not the subject matter of an enquiry under Order 7 Rule 11 of the Code of Civil Procedure.
3. Aggrieved by the aforementioned order, the petitioners have approached this Court seeking rejection of the plaint.

The determination of whether premises qualify as a commercial dispute hinges on actual use, not merely the designation of the property as residential.
The cause of action is a bundle of facts and cannot be decided at the preliminary stage of the suit.
Revisional applications - Scope of assumption of jurisdiction by Commercial Court - No question of bar to revisions against interlocutory orders passed by Commercial Courts Act arises in present case....
