Decided On January 11, 2013
G.KRISHNAMURTHY Appellant
V/S
INDIAN OVERSEAS BANK Respondents

JUDGEMENT

(1.) DEFENDANTS 1 to 5 are the revision petitioners.

(2.) RESPONDENTS 1 and 2 filed the suit in O.S.No.248 of 2010 for declaration that the revocation deed dated 9.5.2005 executed by defendants 1 to 5 is void and non est. In the suit, the revision petitioners filed I.A.No.2059 of 2010 under Order VII Rule 11 to reject the plaint and that application was dismissed and aggrieved by the same, this revision is filed.

(3.) ON the other hand, learned counsel for respondents 1 and 2 submitted that the Trial Court has rightly dismissed the application after relying upon various judgments of this court holding that respondents 1 and 2 have pleaded cause of action and the case of the respondents can be considered during trial and it cannot be rejected at the threshold and the judgment in C.R.P.No.392 of 2010 will not apply to the facts of this case and the parties are not bound by the said judgment and that judgment will not operate as res judicata. The learned counsel for respondents 1 and 2 also relied upon the judgment reported in BHAU RAM v. JANAK SINGH and OTHERS (2012-4-LW 640) in support of his contention that while considering the application under Order VII Rule 11 of the Code of Civil Procedure, the court has to examine only the averments in the plaint and the plea taken by the defendant in the written statement cannot be taken into consideration. He, therefore, submitted that having regard to the plaint allegations, it cannot be rejected and the court cannot decide at this stage as to whether the plaintiffs are entitled to the relief or not.
