3.
The revision petitioner has filed an application
before the Trial Court under Order VII Rule 11 read with
Section 151 of CPC praying the Court to reject the plaint
with exemplary cost. In support of the application, an
affidavit was sworn to contending that the averments of the
plaint are totally false and fabricated and an attempt of the
- 3 -
plaintiff to deceive this Court by giving a false information
to obtain a decree of injunction. Therefore, the plaint is
liable to be rejected. It is further contended that he has
purchased the vacant site No.10 and 11 formed in larger
extent of site bearing Nos.24, 25 and 28 covered in
Sy.No.105/1 situated at Singasandra village, Begur Hobli,
Bangalore South Taluk from the previous owners by way of
registered sale deed dated 13.10.2020. It is also
contended that the property of the plaintiff has been
already acquired by way of preliminary notification dated
15.04.1988 and final notification dated 28.04.1989. On
04.05.1990, an award has been passed in favour of
Gangadharappa who is the vendor of the plaintiff and the
said land was acquired and granted to the Aircraft
employees Cooperative Society and the said acquisition
proceedings
has
been
affirmed
by
this
Court
in
W.P.No.6410/2006. After these proceedings, still the said
Gangadharappa sold 09 guntas of land in Sy.No.105/1
which is the subject matter of the suit. Previous to the
present
suit,
one
more
suit
had
been
filed
in
- 4 -
O.S.No.108/2015 against the said society which came to be
dismissed holding that the plaintiff failed to prove his
possession over the suit schedule property. But still, the
plaintiff has filed this present suit and same is also not
maintainable. Hence, it requires to be dismissed.
4.
The counsel for the plaintiff has filed the
statement of objections resisting the contention of the
defendant stating that this Court has to take note of the
averments made in the application filed under Order VII
Rule 11 of CPC that is only the plaint averments and the
case of the plaintiff has to be looked into not the
allegations made out in the written statement filed by the
defendant. The plaint cannot be rejected only on the basis
of the contentions raised in the written statement. The
defendant himself contends that his property and the
property
of
the
plaintiff
are
different.
Under
such
circumstances, the defendant cannot have any grievance
over the suit property. The controversy involved in the suit
are required to be answered by way of trial. But on the
- 5 -
basis of assumption and presumption, the defendant has
filed the present application which required to be rejected.
5.
The Trial Court having considered the grounds
urged in the application as well as in the objection
statement and also considering the material on record and
the settled principles, an observation is made that what has
to be seen while considering the application filed under
Order VII Rule 11 of CPC. The object of incorporation of
Order VII Rule 11 of CPC is to see that frivolous and
vexatious litigations should be curbed at the threshold at
appropriate stage and at the same time the Court has to
look into the averments made in the plaint whether it
constitute a cause of action and whether the suit is within
the provisions of law. The Trial Court having considering
the pleadings of the parties, the material on record and the
principles laid down in the judgments of the Apex Court
comes to the conclusion that cause of action has acquired
judicially settled meaning. In the restricted sense cause of
action means the circumstances forming infraction of the
right or the immediate occasion for the action. in the wider
- 6 -
sense,
it
means
