Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the maintainability of a counter-claim in a suit for injunction, determining that under the amended Order 8, Rule 6A of the CPC, a counter-claim can be made even in non-money suits. The Court held that the High Court's direction to identify the land related to the counter-claim was consistent with the objective of avoiding multiplicity of proceedings. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's order to allow the trial court to decide on the counter-claim's relevance to the suit property.
