Rajni Rani & Anr vs Khairati Lal & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed whether an order dismissing a counter-claim barred by Order 2, Rule 2 of the Code of Civil Procedure can be set aside under Section 115 or Article 227 of the Constitution. The Court held that the dismissal of the counter-claim was justified as the claim based on a Will was not raised in the earlier suit, thus falling under the principles of Order 2, Rule 2. The Court ultimately upheld the trial court's dismissal of the counter-claim, reinforcing the necessity of raising all claims in the initial suit.
