N.A.Chinnasamy vs S.Vellingirinathan on 9 October, 2013
In Astral Cables Limited v. The National Small Industries Corporation Limited & another, reported in 2011-2-LW 332, another Division Bench of this Court (R.Banumathi & M.M.Sundresh, JJ), has held that while considering rejection of the plaint under Order 7 Rule11 CPC, the strength or weakness of the plaintiff's case is not to be seen and what is required to be disclosed by the plaintiff is a clear right to sue. While considering the application, the Court is not required to take into consideration the defence set up by the defendant in his written statement. Whether the plaint discloses any cause of action is to be decided by looking at the plaint averments and not the defence set up in the written statement.
