Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the rejection of the plaint under Order VII Rule 11 of the Code of Civil Procedure was justified as the suit was clearly barred by law. The Court found that the plaint was cleverly drafted to circumvent limitations and court fees, and that the cause of action arose only on 25.3.1987, which was beyond the permissible period. The Court upheld the High Court's decision to reverse the first appellate court's order, affirming the trial court's ruling.
