     THIS CRP IS FILED UNDER SECTION 115 OF CPC,
AGAINST THE JUDGMENT AND DECREE DATED 18.02.2021
PASSED ON I.A.NO.7 IN O.S.NO.231/2019 ON THE FILE OF THE
XIX ADDITIONAL CITY CIVIL AND SESSIONS JUDGE,
BANGALORE CITY, REJECTING THE I.A.NO.7 FILED UNDER
ORDER 7 RULE 11(a) AND (d) OF CPC FOR REJECTION OF
PLAINT.

     THIS CRP HAVING BEEN HEARD AND RESERVED FOR
ORDERS ON 11.08.2023 THIS DAY, THE COURT PRONOUNCED
THE FOLLOWING:
                                  4



                          ORDER

Heard the petitioner's counsel and also the counsel

appearing for the respondents.

2. The factual matrix of the case of respondent No.1 before

the Trial Court while filing the suit in O.S.No.231/2019 contend

that, one Nanjareddy had three sons, Ramareddy, Lingareddy

and Munireddy of Agaram Village, Begur Hobli, Bangalore. The

said family possessed vast properties in and around Agara

Village and in Bangalore City. There was a family partition

amongst the members of the Nanjareddy Family by virtue of

O.S.No.1/1915-16 on the file of the Court of District Judge at

Bangalore dated 8.10.1923, which got culminated in Final

Decree proceedings vide FDP dated 14.5.1928.

3. In terms of the said proceedings shares of the

respective parties therein were determined and definite shares

were allotted to the parties therein as per the schedule

appended. The plaintiff herein falls in the branch of Munireddy

who had three sons and plaintiff is the grandson of Nanjunda S/o

Munireddy. Late Munireddy got a definite share as per the

judgment and decree and FDP proceedings and the said

Munireddy died during the pendency of the suit leaving behind

his three sons without getting an inch in suit schedule property

towards his share of 1/3rd which was declared by the Court

towards his legitimate share, which declaration remained un-

assailed in the preliminary decree which too came to be

culminated in the Final Decree Proceedings and there was a

cordial relationship with the parties and possession was

continued with Ramareddy and its members and bonafidely

believed them and there was no room for suspicion and their

behavior also never raised any doubts in the minds of the

plaintiffs' family. But now they have declined to give a share.

Hence, filed a suit for the relief of partition of 1/3rd legitimate

share.

4. The defendant appeared and filed statement of

objections, defendant No.4 also had filed an application under

Order 7 Rule 11 of CPC for rejection of plaint contending that

suit is barred by law. The plaintiff is trying to enforce and

execute the decree passed in favour of his grand father

Nanjundareddy in Final Decree Proceedings dated 14.5.1928

passed in O.S.No.1/1915-16 on the file of the District Judge,

Bangalore and such claim is not maintainable and suit is barred

under Section 47 of CPC. The plaintiff is trying to enforce and

execute the decree passed in favour of his grand father

Nanjundareddy. The present suit is filed after lapse of 90 years

and therefore same is hopelessly barred by limitation and no

cause of action. The plaintiff also appeared and filed the

objection statement before the Trial Court. The Trial Court

formulated the point whether plaint does not disclose the cause

of action to file the suit and it is barred by law. The Trial Court

having considered both pleadings of the plaintiff and also the

grounds urged in the application and statement of objections

filed by the plaintiff comes to the conclusion that Section 47 of

the CPC does not attract and also the suit is not barred by

limitation. The Trial Court given the finding that plaintiff has

sought for relief of partition with respect of the property fallen to

the share of Munireddy and hence the contention of the plaintiff

that suit is barred by law will not holds good. The plaint

averments also reveals that partition among the legal heirs of

deceased Munireddy has not been effected and plaintiff being the

legal heirs of deceased Munireddy is entitled to a share and

hence there is a cause of action for the suit and rejected the

application under Order 7 Rule 11 (a) and (d) of CPC with cost of

Rs.500/-. Being aggrieved by the said order, the present revision

petition is filed.

5. The counsel would vehemently contend in his argument

that when the decree was passed in 1923 and also FDP was

culminated vide order dated 14.5.1928, already there was a

decree of partition and preliminary decree was passed and final

decree was also passed and hence, no question of once again

filing the suit for the relief of partition and according to the plaint

averments itself is clear that already there was a partition and

final decree was passed and once again cannot file any suit for

the relief of partition and hence there is no any cause of action

to file a suit for partition once again.

6. The counsel also vehemently contend that, if physical

possession was not delivered in terms of the preliminary decree

and final decree and he has to seek for an order to execute the

decree. The plaintiff knowing fully well that the decree has to be

enforced within the time stipulation and the same is barred by

law, once again filed the suit for the relief of partition. The

counsel also brought to notice of this Court Section 47 of CPC

and there is a bar to file a suit, only executing Court can

examine the issue involved between the parties and he cannot

file a separate suit and under the provision of Section 47 of CPC,

separate suit is barred. The counsel also vehemently contend

that suit does not discloses any cause of action to seek for a

partition again and nothing stated what is transpired between

the parties from 1928. The counsel would vehemently contend

that, it is a case of suppression of material facts and property

has already been changed to the hands of different persons and

the present 4th defendant is in possession of the property that he

had purchased the same and revenue records are also standing

in the name of the defendant and nothing stated with regard to

the revenue records from 1928 to till date, no pleading of joint

possession while seeking for the relief of partition, the suit is

barred by limitation and within 12 years ought to have filed the

appropriate proceedings to enforce the decree and the same is

not done. The counsel would vehemently contend that the suit is

filed by a clever drafting and the relief is illusory.

7. The counsel in support of his argument relied upon the

judgment of the Apex Court reported in 2019 SCC OnLine KAR

3090 in the case of Durga Projects and Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd.

Vs. S. Rajagopala Reddy and Others and referring this judgment

the counsel would vehemently contend that this Court while

allowing the application under Order 7 Rule 11 a, c and d r/w

Section 151 of CPC comes to the conclusion that the clever

drafting of plaint and suppression of material facts itself is a

ground for rejection of plaint. Plaintiff is duty bound in law to

disclose the material facts in terms of Order 6 Rule 2, omission

of a single material facts leads to an incomplete cause of action

and in such a case plaint becomes bad. If it is a bogus and

irresponsible litigation, the jurisdiction under Order 7 Rule 11 of

the CPC can be exercised.

8. The counsel also relied upon the judgment in the case of

Dr.Dhiranji Lal (D) by Lrs. Vs. Hari Das (D) by Lrs. reported

in (2005) 10 SCC 746. Referring this judgment, the counsel

would vehemently contend that the rules of limitation and the

purpose of limitation is also held that meant to see that the

parties do not resort to dilatory tactics, but seek their remedy

promptly. The counsel also referring this judgment contend that

Article 136 is starting point of period of limitation for execution

of decree (for partition), when decree becomes enforceable,

whether from the date the decree is made or when it is

engrossed on stamp paper, held, decree becomes enforceable

from the date it is made and not when it is engrossed on stamp

paper, starting point of limitation cannot be made contingent

upon engrossment of the decree on stamp paper which is an

uncertain act within the domain and purview of the party.

9. The counsel also referring this judgment would

vehemently contend that, the date of decree is a starting point

for enforcement of a decree and in the case on hand, for 90

years kept quiet and now come up with a suit for partition even

though there was already a decree and hence, same is barred by

limitation.

10. The counsel also relied upon the judgment passed by

this Court in RSA No.1837/2017 dated 26.5.2023 and

brought to notice of this Court the principle of doctrine of

acquiescence and this Court held that when the party kept quiet

for a longer period without seeking the appropriate relief and the

conduct of indifference or acquiescence and held that, it is

settled law that an estoppel may arise as against persons who

have not willfully made any misrepresentation, and whose

conduct is free from fraud or negligence, but as against whom

inferences may reasonably have been drawn upon which others

may have been inducted to act. If a person having a right, and

seeing another person about to commit, or in the course of

committing, an act infringing upon that right, stands by in such a

manner as really to induce the person committing the act, and

who might otherwise have abstained from it, to believe that he

assents to it being committed, he cannot afterward be heard to

complain of the act. This is the proper sense of the term

acquiescence, under such circumstances, that assent may be

reasonably inferred from it, and is no more than an instance of

the law of estoppel by words or conduct. The counsel referring

this judgment would contend that the plaintiff had acquiesced his

right keeping quiet for a period of 90 years and hence, not

entitled for any relief and plaint is liable to be rejected.

11. The counsel relying upon the judgment of the Apex

Court in the case of Canara Bank Vs. P.Selathal and Others

reported in 2020 SCC OnLine SC 245, wherein also the Apex

Court held that suits filed after a period of 15 years from the

date of mortgage and after a period of 7 years from the date of

passing of decree by DRT. In the plaint, it is averred that

plaintiffs came to know about mortgage and judgment and

decree passed by DRT only six months back. However, said

averments can be said to be too vague. Nothing has been

averred when and how plaintiffs came to know about judgment

and decree passed by DRT and mortgage of property. Only with

a view to get out of the law of limitation and only with a view to

bring suit within period of limitation, such vague averments are

made. On such vague averments, plaintiffs cannot get out of the

law of limitation. The counsel referring this judgment would also

vehemently contend that, for a period of 90 years kept quiet and

now to avoid the limitation and to get out of the law of limitation

clever drafting has been made in the plaint and hence, suit is

barred by limitation and no cause of action.

12. Per contra, the counsel appearing for the respondents

would vehemently contend that the Trial Court while rejecting an

application has given the reason that the suit is not barred by

limitation and also there is a cause of action and legal heirs of

said Munireddy are having a right in respect of the property and

entitled for the relief of partition and not committed any error in

passing such an error. The very contention of the petitioner's

counsel cannot be accepted.

13. The counsel in support of his arguments relied upon

the judgment of this Court in the case of

S.K.Lakshminarasappa, since deceased by his L.Rs. Vs.

Sri.B.Rudraiah and Others reported in ILR 2012 KAR 4129

and brought to notice of this Court paragraph Nos.45 and 46,

wherein discussed with regard to filing of suit for partition which

was dismissed for default. The Court observed that, the reason is

that the right to enforce a partition is a continuous right, which

is a legal incident of a joint tenancy and which enures so long as

the joint tenancy continues. Cause of action is continuous in

partition cases which subsists so long as the property is held

jointly. The counsel referring this judgment also vehemently

contend that, the High Court observed that the property

continues to be joint. The co-sharers right to seek partition of

the property held jointly, continues. It is a recurring cause of

action. The cause of action comes to an end only after partition

of the property held in joint, is severed and the share to which

each co-sharer is entitled to, is put in possession of their

respective share. The counsel referring this judgment would

vehemently contend that, the same is aptly applicable to the

case on hand since possession has not been handed over to the

respondent in terms of the decree passed in the earlier suit.

14. The counsel also in support of his argument relied

upon the judgment in the case of Mayar (H.K.) Ltd. and

Others Vs. Owners & parties, Vessel M.V. Fortune Express

and Others reported in (2006) 3 SCC 100, wherein also the

Apex Court in detail discussed with regard to Order 7 Rule 11

and also Order 6 Rule 16, wherein held such rejection is

permissible only if the suppressed fact is material, in the sense

that had it not been suppressed it would have had an effect on

the merits of the case, whatever view the Court may have taken,

to obtain such rejection defendant must show that plaintiff could

not possibly succeed on the basis of the pleadings and in the

circumstances of the case, given the suppression of the facts in

question.

15. The counsel also relied upon the judgment reported in

(2006) 5 SCC 658 in the case of Balasaria Construction (P)

Ltd. Vs. Hanuman Seva Trust and Others, wherein also the

Apex Court while discussing Order 7 Rule 11(d) comes to the

conclusion that suit is barred by limitation, cannot be rejected as

barred by limitation without proper pleadings, framing of issues

of limitation and taken the evidence. Question of limitation is a

mixed question of law and fact and ex facie on reading of the

plaint, suit cannot be held to be barred by limitation.

16. The counsel also relied upon the judgment of this

Court reported in 2017 SCC OnLine Kar 6782 in the case of

Prameela N. Vs. L.Mahadevaiah, wherein also dealing with

Order 7 Rule 11 an observation is made that the Court is not

obliged to look into the case of the defendant and the pleadings

of the defendant, but the Court is bound to look into the whole

plaint averments and on meaningful and complete reading of the

plaint if the Court is of the opinion that, there is no cause of

action or the cause of action pleaded is illusory then also the

Court can reject the plaint.

17. It is also observed that when the plaintiff pleads that

the sale deed is not binding upon her and she continues to be

the joint owner of the said property with first defendant, again

this has to be tested whether she has to seek for cancellation or

for setting aside the sale deed or simply she can seek that the

sale transaction is not binding upon her.

18. Having heard the petitioner's counsel and also counsel

appearing for the respondents, the points that would arise for

consideration of this Court are:

i) Whether the Trial Court committed an error in rejecting application filed under Order 7 Rule 11

(a) and (d) of CPC?

ii) What Order?

19. Having perused the pleadings found in the plaint, it is

not in dispute that earlier a suit was filed for the relief of

partition and preliminary decree was granted in O.S.No.1/1915-

16 before the Court of District Court at Bangalore and the said

decree was granted on 8.10.1923 and the same was culminated

in final decree proceedings vide FDP dated 14.5.1928.

20. Having perused the averment of the plaint in

paragraph No.2 it is clear that suit was filed for the relief of

partition and preliminary decree was passed and final decree

was also passed. It is also settled law, in view of principles laid

down in the judgment referred supra that while the Court

considering an application under Order 7 Rule 11 of CPC, look

into the averments of the plaint and not the defence, and

defence is immaterial.

21. Having perused the plaint averments it is clear that

already suit was filed since the family propositous Nanjareddy

having three sons Ramareddy, Lingareddy and Munireddy and

also pleading is clear that there was a family partition among the

members of the Nanjareddy by virtue of the decree. Hence, it is

clear that there was a partition among the family members and

plaintiff is the grand son of Nanjunda S/o Munireddy and also it

is specific case of late Munireddy got a definite share as per the

judgment and decree and FDP proceedings and also specifically

pleaded that suit schedule properties are subject matter of the

said proceedings which fell to the share of late Munireddy, but

he died leaving behind his three sons. But the fact is that,

already there was a decree of partition and final decree was also

attained its finality. There is a force in the contention of the

petitioner's counsel that physical possession is not delivered in

terms of the judgment and decree, option is to seek for an order

to execute the decree. But instead of executing the decree, filed

one more suit for the relief of partition and hence, one more suit

is barred by law only to enforce the decree by filing execution

petition. It has to be noted that the Apex Court also in the

judgment referred by the petitioner's counsel in the case of

Dr.Chiranji Lal (D) by Lrs. referred supra made it clear that

starting point of period of limitation for execution of decree (for

partition) and the same become enforceable from the date of

decree and not engrossing the same on the stamp paper and

engrossing of the stamp paper is uncertain. Starting point of

limitation cannot be made contingent upon engrossment of the

decree on stamp paper which is an uncertain act within the

domain and purview of the party. Hence, it is clear that, in order

to avoid law of limitation one more suit is filed for the relief of

partition. If possession is not delivered in terms of the

preliminary decree and final decree, ought to have enforced the

same within the period of limitation and the same is not been

done and in order to oust the law of limitation, the present suit is

filed.

22. The judgment of the Court in Canara Bank Vs.

P.Selathal and Others referred supra is also clear that only with

a view to get out of the law of limitation and only with a view to

bring suits within a period of limitation, such vague averments

are made. On such vague averments, plaintiffs cannot get out of

the law of limitation. There must be specific pleadings and

averments in the plaint on limitation. The said judgment is apply

applicable to the case on hand, since the same is not been

enforced by filing execution petition after the decree.

23. The other contention of the petitioner's counsel is also

that the plaintiff acquiesced their right, the doctrine of law of

acquiescence is applicable to the facts of the case on hand and

relied upon the judgment of this Court referred supra in

G.Nagaraju Vs. Mr.Ramesh and others case, the same was

discussed earlier with regard to the application of law of

acquiescence and the said judgment is also aptly applicable to

the case on hand since the plaintiffs have acquiesced their right,

kept quiet for a period of 90 years even though the final decree

was passed on 14.5.1928. The suit is also hopelessly barred by

limitation by filing a separate suit.

24. This Court also would like to refer Section 47 of CPC

which reads as follows:

47. Questions to be determined by the Court executing decree-(1) All questions arising between the parties to the suit in which the decree was passed, or their representatives, and relating to

the execution, discharge or satisfaction of the decree, shall be determined by the Court executing the decree and not by a separate suit.

25. Having referred Section 47 of CPC, it is clear that when

there was a decree between the parties and relating to the

execution, discharge of satisfaction of the decree, shall be

determined by the Court executing the decree and not by a

separate suit. In the case on hand, already there was a decree in

respect of the Munireddy's share and pleading of the plaintiff

also clear that share has been determined and final decree also

was drawn on 14.5.1928 and instead of executing the final

decree by filing execution petition, a separate suit is filed before

the Court and hence, it is clear that it is nothing but clever

drafting of the plaint while filing the suit for the relief of seeking

once again for partition.

26. The Supreme Court also referred supra in Canara Bank

case held that, it is nothing but clever drafting to file the suit for

the relief of partition once again and the same is illusory and

nothing is there to determine the issues between the parties

since suit has been decreed and final decree has been passed,

only enforcement of the decree was pending even according to

the contention of the plaintiff. When such being the case, in

order to avoid the limitation for execution of the decree, the

present suit is filed once again seeking for the relief of partition

and hence, there is a force in the contention of the counsel for

the revision petitioner that there is no cause of action to file a

suit and even on perusal of the plaint also, cause of action is

pleaded of the year 1923 and 1928 and subsequently demands

as and when made by the plaintiff's family repeatedly, and also

when plaintiff met defendant Nos.4 to 11 along with well wishers

and when the defendant denied in 2018 and no specific

averment is made and also no question of making any demand,

when already there was a decree, there is a preliminary decree

and final decree, as stated in paragraph No.10 of the plaint itself

mentioned in the cause of action and when such being the case,

it is a fit case as observed by the Apex Court that in order to

bring the suit within the law of limitation once again for the relief

of partition, the same has not been examined by the Trial Court.

27. No doubt, the counsel appearing for the respondent

relied upon the judgment of this Court in ILR 2012 Kar 4129

referred supra brought to notice of this Court paragraph Nos.45

and 46, wherein discussed with regard to the fact that, it is a

recurring cause of action. The cause of action comes to an end

only after partition of the property held in joint, is severed and

the share to which each co-sharer is entitled to, is put in

possession of their respective share.

28. The case involved is a case of dismissal of the suit. But

here is a case already determined the rights of the parties and

preliminary decree was passed and final decree was also passed

and no doubt it is the contention that possession was not

delivered, but the same ought to have been enforced by filing an

execution petition and to seek for an order to execute the decree

and comes to know about the same is barred by limitation, the

present suit is filed cleverly drafting the plaint and the same is

nothing but illusory.

29. No doubt the counsel is also relied upon the judgment

of the Apex court reported in Mayor(H.K) case referred supra,

the judgment is also very clear that to obtain such rejection

defendant must show that plaintiff would not possibility succeed

on the basis of the pleadings and in the circumstances of the

case, even the suppression of the facts in question. But in the

case on hand also it is very clear that there was a preliminary

decree and final decree and the same is not enforced within the

limitation as held in the judgment of the Apex Court relied upon

by the petitioner's counsel.

30. No doubt, the other judgment of the High Court in

Prameela N. Vs. L.Mahadevaiah referred supra, it is clear that

defence of the defendant cannot be looked into while considering

Order 7 Rule 11 and the same is also a settled law and very

clear that under Order 7 Rule 11(a) and (d), there must be

cause of action and also if it is barred by limitation within the

meaning of Order 7 Rule 11 (d) of CPC, the same cannot be

entertained.

31. Having perused the plaint averments, I have already

pointed out that it is clear that already there was a partition by

granting preliminary decree. Final decree was also passed on

14.5.1928 and instead of filing execution petition and obtain

possession, after lapse of 90 years, once again suit is filed for

the relief of partition and nothing is there to determine, when

already a share of Munireddy was granted in the earlier suit and

the present plaintiff claims that he is the legal heir of

Munireddy's Branch and when there was a decree of partition

and final decree in favour of Munireddy's Branch, ought to have

been enforced within the period of limitation and instead, filed

one more suit for partition and hence the Trial Court fails to take

note of the said fact into consideration that there is no cause of

action to file a suit and also not discussed anything with regard

to the limitation aspect also, though point is raised by the Court

whether the plaint does not disclose the cause of action to file

the suit and it is barred by law and committed an error in

considering the very plaint averments made in the application

and also erroneously comes to the conclusion that Section 47 of

the CPC does not press into the aid of the defendant, but fails to

take note of the very proviso of Section 47 of CPC and there

must be a separate suit and the right has to be adjudicated only

in execution petition. But instead of filing execution petition, filed

a separate original suit and the same has not been appreciated.

32. Regarding law of limitation also, the Trial Court

committed an error in coming to the conclusion that the law of

limitation urged by the petitioner was not considered and comes

to an erroneous conclusion that suit is not barred by limitation

and the very approach is erroneous and hence it requires

interference. Hence, I answer the point as affirmative.

33. In view of the discussions made above, I pass the

following:

ORDER

Revision petition is allowed.

The impugned order is set aside. Consequently, the

application filed under Order 7 Rule 11(a) and (d) of CPC before

the Trial Court is allowed and as a result plaint is rejected.
