Maintainability of suits and applications
Many sources highlight that suits or applications are considered not maintainable if proper procedural requirements are not met, such as lack of necessary declarations, improper marking of documents, or failure to specify the prayer. For example, the suit for partition without declaring the partition deed (Ex.A1) is not maintainable K. S. Ramanathan (died) by LRs. , & Others VS R. Jayaraman & Others - Madras; similarly, a suit lacking a declaration regarding property rights is held not maintainable Karupathal VS Palani Naicker alias K. Palaniappan (died) - Madras, and a suit for specific performance without a declaration is also deemed not maintainable R. Karuppusamy VS P. Sivaraj - Madras.
Procedural issues related to document marking
Several references emphasize that documents must be properly marked before being used for comparison or evidence. An application for signature comparison was rejected because the document was unmarked M. Vasanthakumar vs Devika - Madras, and a revision petition was dismissed as the document was already marked without objection Sheikh Qutubuddin VS Goli Vishwanatham - Andhra Pradesh. Proper marking is essential for admissibility and subsequent proceedings.
Legal procedural remedies and stages
Courts have held that interlocutory revisions or appeals are not maintainable at certain stages, especially if the correct forum or procedure is not followed, such as the revision petition not being maintainable at an interlocutory stage Lifeshine Medical Services Pvt. Ltd VS Alety Jeevan Reddy - Telangana, or the need to seek appropriate remedies before the proper forum.

Analysis and Conclusion
Overall, the main insight is that maintainability hinges on procedural compliance, including proper document marking, appropriate prayers, and filing before the correct forum. Failure to adhere to these procedural requirements renders suits or applications not maintainable, as consistently upheld across various cases. Therefore, in the context of Marked in E a but Not in E P, if the document or case lacks proper procedural steps or declarations, it is unlikely to be considered maintainable.
