RAMESH DHARAMDAS MEHTA Respondents

JUDGEMENT

(1.) This is a Notice of Motion by defendant Nos. 1, 3, 4 and 5 in the NMS715-10 2 suit for claiming following relief:

(2.) In effect this is a notice of motion invoking this Court's power under Order VII Rule 11(d) of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 (for short CPC). The CPC has such a provision so that the Court can reject the plaint not only when it does not disclose a cause of action or where the relief claimed is under valued and the plaintiff on being required by the court to correct the valuation within a time frame failed to do so or when the relief claimed is properly valued but the plaint is written upon paper insufficiently stamped, and the plaintiff, on being required by the court to supply the requisite stamp paper within a time to be fixed by the court, fails to do so. Importantly, where the suit appears from the statement in the plaint to be barred by any law.

(3.) It is this provision which is being invoked in the instant case by the defendants. Natuarally, therefore, the statement in the plaint will have to be seen for deciding the present notice of motion.
