SCC 510 wherein it has been held as under:
Saleem Bhai And Ors vs State Of Maharashtra And Ors on 17 December, 2002
"It is clear from the above that where the plaint does not disclose
a cause of action, the relief claimed is undervalued and not
corrected within the time allowed by the Court, insufficiently
stamped and not rectified within the time fixed by the Court,
barred by any law, failed to enclose the required copies and the
plaintiff fail to comply with the provisions of Rule 9, the Court has
no other option except to reject the same. A reading of the above
provision also makes it clear that power under Order 7 Rule 11 of
the Code can be exercised at any stage of the suit either before
registering the plaint or after the issuance of summons to the
defendants or at any time before the conclusion of the trial. This
position was explained by this Court in Saleem Bhai & Ors. vs.
State of Maharashtra and Others, (2003) 1 SCC 557, in which,
while considering Order 7 Rule 11 of the Code, it was held as
under:
Raptakos Brett And Co. Ltd vs Ganesh Property on 8 September, 1998
It is clear that in order to consider Order 7 Rule 11, the Court has

exercised by the trial Court at any stage of the suit. It is also clear

the duty of the Court to scrutinize the averments/pleas in the
plaint. In other words, what needs to be looked into in deciding
such an application are the averments in the plaint. At that stage,
the pleas taken by the defendant in the written statement are
wholly irrelevant and the matter is to be decided only on the plaint
averments. These principles have been reiterated in Raptakos
Brett & Co. Ltd. vs. Ganesh Property (1998) 7 SCC 184 and
Mayar (H.K.)
Rajesh Grover vs Smt. Rita Khurana And Ors. on 8 August, 2005
After hearing counsel for the parties, this Court is of the opinion that
no fault can be found in the order passed by the Civil Court. It is settled principle
that rejection of plaint is not to be done at the outset and the same should be done
in exceptional cases, at the threshold as it entails serious consequences and only
where cases are patently time barred, frivolous and vexatious claims are put forth,
resort is to be made to the said provisions. Reliance can be placed upon Rajesh
Grover Vs. Smt. Rita Khurana & others 2006 (2) PLR 244 for the said purpose.
At the time of rejection of the plaint, only the plaint is to be seen and the defence
of the defendants is not to be taken into consideration.
