REKHA BORANA
Anand Chandel – Appellant
Versus
Yuvraj – Respondent
ORDER :
1. The present second appeal has been preferred against the judgment dated 06.08.2022 passed by the District Judge, Jodhpur Metro in Civil Appeal No. 15/2021 vide which the judgment and decree dated 14.09.2021 passed by the Civil Judge, Jodhpur Metro in Civil Original No. 15/2021 (222/2021) has been reversed. Vide judgment dated 14.09.2021, the learned trial Court proceeded on to allow the application under Order 7, Rule 11 of the Code of Civil Procedure as preferred by the defendant-appellant and consequently, rejected the plaint as preferred by the plaintiffs-respondents.
2. At the outset, it may be noticed that second appeal against the order passed by the first appellate Court setting aside the dismissal of the suit on preliminary point and remanding back the matter is not maintainable. In fact, an appeal under Order XLIII Rule 1 (u) CPC would be maintainable.
3. However, as the period of limitation and court fees etc., are the same in second appeal and misc. appeal, instead of requiring the appellant to file misc. appeal/convert the present second appeal into misc. appeal, in view of the fact that this Court, as of date, has the roster to hear both second appeal and misc.
The court confirmed that issues requiring evidence must be determined at trial and cannot be dismissed at the pleading stage under Order VII Rule 11 CPC.
The omission of a main relief in a plaint does not bar the suit under Order VII Rule 11(d) of CPC; defendants must demonstrate how the suit is barred by law.
The court's decision was influenced by the provisions of Order 39 Rule 3 of C.P.C. in denying the petitioner's request for ex-parte temporary injunction.
The court emphasized the independent and special nature of the remedy under Order 7 Rule 11 CPC and clarified that the point of limitation is not always a mixed question of law and fact.
