Rakesh Kumar Garg,J.

This review application has been filed by the applicant-appellant on

the ground that the findings of this court on the second question of law as raised

by the learned counsel for the appellant is erroneous as the facts regarding the

earlier suit filed by the plaintiff-respondent was on the record.

I have heard learned counsel for the applicant.

It has been very fairly stated by the learned counsel for the

applicant-appellant that the question was raised by the appellant for the first time

in his grounds of appeal before this court when the fact came to his knowledge

and there are no pleadings with regard to these facts before the trial.

The Hon’ble Supreme Court of India in the case of Bachhaj Nahar

Versus Nilima Mandal and another JT 2008 (13) SC 255 held as under:-

” No amount of evidence can be looked into, upon a plea which

was never put forward in the pleadings. A question which did arise

from the pleadings and which was not the subject matter of an

issue, cannot be decided by the court.”

R.A.No. 11-C of 2009
in RSA No. 2812 of 1995 2

For the reasons recorded above, I find no ground to review my

judgment dated 21.11.2008.

Dismissed.
