The learned Additional District Judge, Delhi<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">RFA No. 470\/1999                                               1<\/span><br \/>\n vide judgment and order dated 11th January, 1999 has<\/p>\n<p>rejected the plaint under Order VII Rule 11 CPC of the Code<\/p>\n<p>of Civil Procedure(hereinafter referred to as \u201eCPC\u201f) on the<\/p>\n<p>ground that Civil Court has no jurisdiction to entertain the<\/p>\n<p>suit for possession.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>2.     Feeling aggrieved by the decision of the trial Court the<\/p>\n<p>plaintiffs have come up in appeal.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>3.     I have heard learned counsel for the appellants-<\/p>\n<p>plaintiffs only since none has been appearing on behalf of<\/p>\n<p>the respondents\/ defendants although initially they had<\/p>\n<p>entered appearance in this appeal through an advocate.<\/p>\n<p>4.     The relevant facts are that the appellant-plaintiff no.2<\/p>\n<p>Smt. Vidyawati was claiming herself to be the owner of<\/p>\n<p>the suit land, referred to above, having purchased the<\/p>\n<p>same from one Shri Vidya Sagar, who was the father of<\/p>\n<p>respondents 1 to 5 herein and appellant-plaintiff no.1, who<\/p>\n<p>is the brother of appellant-plaintiff no.2, was looking after<\/p>\n<p>the vacant land. It was alleged in the plaint that sometime<\/p>\n<p>in May-June, 1995 the respondents-defendants started<\/p>\n<p>interfering with the possession of the plaintiffs which<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">RFA No. 470\/1999                                            2<\/span><br \/>\n resulted into filing of police complaints and proceedings<\/p>\n<p>under Sections 107\/151 of the Code of Criminal Procedure<\/p>\n<p>were initiated by the police.         Further averments in the<\/p>\n<p>plaint were that the defendants had trespassed over the<\/p>\n<p>suit land belonging to the plaintiffs and had constructed<\/p>\n<p>unauthorized rooms there and thereafter                they     were<\/p>\n<p>intending to sell those rooms to third parties.              On these<\/p>\n<p>averments in the plaint the appellants-plaintiffs had filed<\/p>\n<p>the suit for possession as also damages\/mesne profits.<\/p>\n<p>5.     The respondents-defendants contested the suit and in<\/p>\n<p>their written statement a number of objections were taken<\/p>\n<p>including the one regarding the jurisdiction of the Civil<\/p>\n<p>Court to entertain the suit for possession in respect of the<\/p>\n<p>suit land. It was pleaded that the suit in Civil Court was not<\/p>\n<p>maintainable in view of the bar created under Section 185<\/p>\n<p>of the Delhi Land Reforms Act, 1954. The suit was<\/p>\n<p>contested on merits also.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>6.     The learned trial Court instead of framing and<\/p>\n<p>deciding all the issues, both of law and fact, arising out of<\/p>\n<p>the pleadings of the parties, decided to take up the<\/p>\n<p>defendants\u201f        objection   relating   to   the   Civil    Court\u201fs<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">RFA No. 470\/1999                                                  3<\/span><br \/>\n jurisdiction only as a preliminary issue vide order dated<\/p>\n<p>25\/09\/98 and after hearing the counsel for the parties<\/p>\n<p>passed the impugned order holding that Civil Court had no<\/p>\n<p>jurisdiction to entertain such a suit for possession in view of<\/p>\n<p>the bar created under Section 185 of the Delhi Land<\/p>\n<p>Reforms Act, 1954 and consequently the plaint of the<\/p>\n<p>plaintiffs\u201f suit was rejected under order VII Rule 11 CPC.<\/p>\n<p>Feeling aggrieved, the plaintiffs filed the present appeal.<\/p>\n<p>7.     The learned counsel for the appellants has submitted<\/p>\n<p>that a perusal of the impugned order running into 19 pages<\/p>\n<p>would show that the plaint has been rejected by the<\/p>\n<p>learned trial Court not on the ground that based on the<\/p>\n<p>averments made in the plaint the suit appeared to be<\/p>\n<p>barred under any law but it has referred to the defence of<\/p>\n<p>the defendants taken in their written statement regarding<\/p>\n<p>the title of the appellant-plaintiff no.2 and accepting their<\/p>\n<p>defence plaint has been ordered to rejected which could<\/p>\n<p>not have been done under Order VII Rule 11 CPC. Learned<\/p>\n<p>counsel placed reliance on one judgment of the Hon\u201fble<\/p>\n<p>Supreme Court in &#8220;Saleem Bhai and Ors. Vs. State of<\/p>\n<p>Maharashtra and Ors.&#8221;, AIR 2003 SC 759 in support of<\/p>\n<p>the contention that while considering the question as to<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">RFA No. 470\/1999                                              4<\/span><br \/>\n whether a plaint deserves to be rejected or not under Order<\/p>\n<p>VII Rule 11 CPC the Court is required to consider only the<\/p>\n<p>averments made in the plaint and not to the pleas in<\/p>\n<p>defence taken by the defendants in the written statement.<\/p>\n<p>8.     I have gone through the judgment of the Hon\u201fble<\/p>\n<p>Supreme Court cited by the learned counsel for the<\/p>\n<p>appellant and I find that the same does support the<\/p>\n<p>submission of the learned counsel for the appellant. In<\/p>\n<p>paragraph no. 9 of the judgment it has been observed by<\/p>\n<p>the Hon\u201fble Supreme Court as under:\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>             &#8220;9. A perusal of Order VII Rule C.P.C. makes it clear<br \/>\n             that the relevant facts which need to be looked into for<br \/>\n             deciding an application thereunder are the averments<br \/>\n             in the plaint&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230; For the purposes of deciding an<br \/>\n             application under Cls.(a) and (d) of R.11 of O. 11 C.P.C.<br \/>\n             the averments in the plaint are germane; the pleas<br \/>\n             taken by the defendant in the written statement would<br \/>\n             be wholly irrelevant at that stage&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8221;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>                                                      (emphasis laid)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>9.     The      Hon\u201fble Supreme Court has also held                      in its<\/p>\n<p>judgments reported as                 2006(5)SCC 638, &#8220;<a href=\"\/doc\/442517\/\">Ramesh<\/p>\n<p>B.Desai vs Bipin Vadilal Mehta<\/a>&#8221;                      and 2004(3) SCC<\/p>\n<p>688, &#8220;Exphar SA and Anr. Vs. Eupharma Laboratories<\/p>\n<p>and Anr.&#8221; that whenever the Court decides to take up for<\/p>\n<p>decision only legal issues, like, maintainability of the suit or<\/p>\n<p>Court\u201fs jurisdiction, the averments in the plaint have to be<\/p>\n<p>assumed to be correct.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">RFA No. 470\/1999                                                            5<\/span>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> 10. Now, in the present case, as has been noticed<\/p>\n<p>already, the suit for possession was filed by the appellants-<\/p>\n<p>plaintiffs on the averments that appellant-plaintiff no. 2<\/p>\n<p>had purchased the suit land from the predecessor-in-<\/p>\n<p>interest of respondents-defendants 1 to 5 herein and that<\/p>\n<p>they had been dispossessed therefrom unauthorisedly by<\/p>\n<p>the respondents herein.      From these averments in the<\/p>\n<p>plaint it could certainly be not said that the suit for<\/p>\n<p>possession was barred under any law or that the Civil Court<\/p>\n<p>had no jurisdiction to entertain such a suit.   As far as the<\/p>\n<p>defence raised by the respondents\/defendants in the<\/p>\n<p>written statement relating to the jurisdiction of the Civil<\/p>\n<p>Court is concerned the same was based on certain factual<\/p>\n<p>pleas raised by them to the effect that the defendants no.<\/p>\n<p>1 to 5, who are respondents 1 to 5 herein, were the<\/p>\n<p>bhumidars in possession of the suit land and so they could<\/p>\n<p>not be dispossessed without following the provisions of the<\/p>\n<p>Delhi Land Reforms Act and further that as far as the<\/p>\n<p>plaintiffs, the appellants herein, were concerned they were<\/p>\n<p>neither the bhumidars nor asamis of the suit land. It was<\/p>\n<p>also pleaded in the written statement that Vidya Sagar was<\/p>\n<p>not a bhumidar of the suit land and further that the sale<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">RFA No. 470\/1999                                          6<\/span><br \/>\n deed, if any, which the plaintiffs claimed to have been<\/p>\n<p>executed by him in respect of the suit land was a forged<\/p>\n<p>document. It was also claimed that the suit land was Gaon<\/p>\n<p>Sabha land and defendants 1 to 5 had been declared as<\/p>\n<p>bhumidars by the revenue authorities and to get herself<\/p>\n<p>declared as a bhumidar plaintiff no. 2 had moved an<\/p>\n<p>application        before   the   revenue   authorities   but   that<\/p>\n<p>application was dismissed by the Revenue Assistant. The<\/p>\n<p>learned trial Court has rejected the plaint by taking into<\/p>\n<p>consideration the said pleas of the defendants in their<\/p>\n<p>written statement which, in my view, was not permissible<\/p>\n<p>under Order VII Rule 11 CPC.          The question whether the<\/p>\n<p>suit land belonged to the Gaon Sabha and that the<\/p>\n<p>respondents-defendants 1 to 5 had been declared as<\/p>\n<p>bhumidars by the revenue authorities could not be decided<\/p>\n<p>without recording of evidence of the parties. Therefore, in<\/p>\n<p>my view the impugned judgment cannot be sustained.<\/p>\n<p>11. This appeal is accordingly allowed and the judgment<\/p>\n<p>and decree dated 11th January, 1999 stand set aside.            The<\/p>\n<p>matter is remanded back to the trial Court with the<\/p>\n<p>direction to frame all the issues arising out of the pleadings<\/p>\n<p>of the parties and then to dispose them of together, as<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">RFA No. 470\/1999                                                 7<\/span><br \/>\n provided under Order XIV         Rule 1 CPC after giving<\/p>\n<p>opportunities to all the parties to adduce the evidence.<\/p>\n<p>       The trial Court shall now take up the case for further<\/p>\n<p>proceedings on 27th July, 2009 at 2 p.m.<\/p>\n<p>                                             P.K.
