RAMESH KUMAR JHA Vs. NETRAYANI JHA

JUDGEMENT

(1.) HEARD .

(2.) THIS is an application by the defendants whose application for rejecting the plaint in terms of Order 7 Rule 11 (d) of the Code of Civil Procedure has been rejected by the Court.

(3.) ON the other hand, Sri Sukumar Sinha, Senior counsel appearing on behalf of the plaintiff Opposite Party has submitted that the Court rightly rejected the application of defendant as the relationship of landlord and tenant was a question of fact and had to be decided on evidence in course of trial. For the purpose of taking action under Order 7 Rule 11 (d) the Court had to see the plaint alone and the averment made therein. The defence of the defendant is a matter which is to be established in the trial and as such, in the present case it was open to the defendant to raise the question of possession including question of title and that would be decided by the Court in the proceedings.
