Order 7 Rule 11 CPC | Plaint Rejection Barred for Clever Drafting When Non-Parties Are Co-Plaintiffs : MP HC Gwalior
Madhya Pradesh High Court rules that a plaint cannot be rejected under Order 7 Rule 11 CPC solely on defence grounds if non-parties to a prior suit are co-plaintiffs. The court emphasized that while clever drafting to circumvent legal bars may warrant rejection, the trial court must examine the plaint's substance, not just defence arguments.
