It may be mentioned here that the plaintiff has got no cause of action is different matter. The question whether the plaint disclosed a cause of action is also different matter. If the plaint does not disclose a cause of action that can be considered while deciding an application under Order VII Rule 11 CPC.

In the present case, the main defence and the submission of the learned senior counsel is that the question of title has already been decided in the earlier suit.
