Order VII Rule 11 CPC | Plaint Cannot Be Rejected at Threshold for Bar Under Order II Rule 2 CPC - Issue Must Be Decided After Framing of Issues : Allahabad HC
The Allahabad High Court has clarified that a plaint cannot be dismissed under Order VII Rule 11 CPC merely because the suit is allegedly barred by Order II Rule 2 CPC. Such a bar is a merits-based defense requiring full adjudication after issues are framed, not a ground for early rejection. This protects litigants from premature dismissal of valid claims and reinforces procedural fairness in civil litigation.
