SUSHIL THOMAS ABRAHAM vs M/S SKYLINE BUILD. THRU. ITS PARTNER..

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of whether the appellant could be classified as an 'indigent person' under Order 33 Rule 1 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, for the purpose of filing a civil suit without paying ad valorem court fees. The Court held that the appellant failed to demonstrate his inability to pay the requisite fees, thus affirming the lower courts' decisions to deny his request for indigent status. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, upholding the trial court's ruling that the appellant was not entitled to file the suit as an indigent person.
