Order 7 Rule 11(c) CPC | Bona Fide Intention to Pay Deficient Court Fee Warrants Restoration, Not Rejection of Plaint : Chhattisgarh HC
The Chhattisgarh High Court ruled that a plaint cannot be summarily rejected under Order 7 Rule 11(c) merely due to insufficient court fee if the plaintiff demonstrates genuine intent to rectify the deficiency through Section 149 CPC. This protects heirs and successors who inherit pending suits, ensuring procedural fairness over technical dismissal.
