(2003) 1 SCC 557

Relevant Paras: 9, 10

📌 સિદ્ધાંત:
Order 7 Rule 11 અરજી નક્કી કરતી વખતે માત્ર plaint અને plaint સાથેના દસ્તાવેજો જ જોવાના. Written statement અથવા defence જોવાનો નહીં.

Para 9 (સારાંશ):
“The trial court can exercise the power under Order VII Rule 11 at any stage of the suit before registering the plaint or after issuing summons, but the averments in the plaint are germane and pleas taken by the defendant in the written statement would be wholly irrelevant.”

(2005) 7 SCC 510

📌 સિદ્ધાંત:
