Order VII Rule 11(d) CPC | Distinct Cause of Action Based on Newly Discovered Fraud Permits Separate Suit Despite Same Transaction : SC
The Supreme Court ruled that a plaint cannot be rejected under Order VII Rule 11(d) CPC merely because the cause of action arises from the same transaction, if it is based on newly discovered fraud. This holding clarifies that Order II Rule 2 CPC does not bar a separate suit where the cause of action is distinct, offering relief to plaintiffs alleging fraud in property disputes.
