ORDER :

1. The present appeal filed by the appellant/plaintiff Dr. Abdul Wasi under Section 96 of CPC, arises out of the judgment and decree dated 3/8/2011 passed by the Additional District Judge No.9, Jaipur Metropolitan (hereinafter referred to as 'the Trial Court') in Civil Suit No.02/11(589/11), whereby the Trial Court has allowed the application filed by the respondent No.21/defendant No.21 under Order VII, Rule 11 of CPC read with Section 151 of CPC by rejecting the plaint, and dismissing the suit of the appellant/plaintiff.

2. The short facts, giving rise to the present appeal, are that the appellant/plaintiff is the son of the respondent No.5/defendant No.5, Shri Abdul Sami. According to the appellant/plaintiff, the common ancestor late Shri Abdul Samad, of the appellant/plaintiff, and of the respondent/defendant Nos.1 to 20 and 22 to 30, was the owner of the suit property situated at Tilak Nagar, Jaipur, as described in para 2 of the plaint. The said Abdul Samad expired in 1983 leaving behind the defendant Nos.1 to 5 who were his sons and the defendant Nos.6 to 8 who were his daugthers. The appellant/plaintiff therefore filed the suit being No.2/2011 (589 of 2011) before the Trial Court, seeking partition and for recovery of possession of his 3/14th share in the suit property, and for permanent injunction for restraining the respondents No.9 to 21/defendant Nos.9 to 21 from transferring or alienating or creating any charge or put up any construction over the suit property. In the said suit, it was alleged interalia that though the defendant Nos.1 to 4 had only 1/7th share in the suit property, they wrongly mentioning their 1/5th share, sold out their respective shares to the defendant No.21 by executing separate sale deeds, which were illegal and void ab-initio. It was further alleged that the defendant Nos.6 to 8 had relinquished their respective 3/14th undivided share in the suit property in favour of the plaintiff by executing a deed on 28/3/2011, and thus the plaintiff was entitled to get his 3/14th share in the suit property. It was further stated in the plaint that on 5/4/2011 when the plaintiff asked for partition of the suit property by meets and bounds, the respondents/defendants refused to do so, and hence the suit was filed. The respondent No.21/defendant No.21, on service of summons, had filed an application under Order VII, Rule 11 read with Section 151 of CPC, seeking rejection of the plaint, contending interalia that the plaintiff had earlier filed the suit being No.548/11 on 11/4/2011, making the same averments as made in the present suit and that the said suit was dismissed for non compliance of the Court's order to pay Court fees and for default on 21st April, 2011, and hence the appellant/plaintiff could not have filed the second suit. It was also contended that no cause of action had arisen for the plaintiff to file the suit against the defendants. It was also further contended that the plaintiff had also filed one another suit bearing No.131 of 2007, claiming partition of the suit property and seeking his share on the basis of alleged Hibanama in favour of his mother, which was dismissed by the Trial Court on 30th August, 2008, and that one more suit was filed by the respondent No.5/defendant No.5, i.e, father of the plaintiff bearing No.105 of 2008 against the defendant Nos.1 to 4, in which he had not shown share of the defendant Nos.6 to 8 in the suit property. It was also contended that the plaintiff had suppressed material facts from the Court by not disclosing the filing of the said suits and hence the plaint was liable to be rejected. The said application under Order VII, Rule 11 of CPC was resisted by the appellant/plaintiff by filing the reply. The Trial Court, after hearing the learned counsels for the parties, allowed the said application, rejecting the plaint of the appellant/plaintiff vide impugned order dated 3/8/2011. Being aggrieved by the same, the present appeal has been filed.
