CHETANRAM Vs. MANGHARAM

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THIS is an appeal by Chetanram against the order of the District Judge of Bikaner under O. X, r. 4 C. P. C. by which he dismissed the suit brought by the appellant.

(2.) IT is not necessary to set out the case of the plaintiff appellant in detail for purposes of this appeal. IT it enough to say that the plaintiff appellant brought a suit for the recovery of one Lakh of rupees against the defendants respondents in the court of the District Judge, Bikaner, in 1951. IT took a long time to serve the defendants. Even after the defendants were served, they did not file their written statement. They had made an application that certain arbitration proceedings were pending in and the Court in this very matter and therefore this suit should be stayed under sec. 10 C. P. C. They also prayed that they might not be required to file the written statement till their application was decided.
