KULDEEP SINGH APPELLANT
VERSUS
RAJINDER KUMAR AND ORS RESPONDENTS
J U D G M E N T

Leave granted.

The appellant is aggrieved by the order dated

17.03.2016 passed by High Court of Delhi in CM(M)

321/2015.

As per the said impugned order, the High Court

rejected the application filed by the appellant under

Order 7 Rule 11 of the Code of Civil Procedure(CPC) for

dismissal of Civil Suit No.1428/1981 renumbered as JUDGMENT Civil Suit No.903/2011.

The High Court has taken the view that going by the

pleadings in the suit, it cannot be said that no cause

of action was made out.

In view of the judgment of this court dated

07.02.2014 in Civil Appeal Nos.1873-1877/2014, the suit

could not have been rejected under Order 7 Rule 11 of

CPC. Therefore, this appeal is dismissed.

However, we direct the Trial Court, in view of the

earlier directions, to expedite the trial and dispose

of the suit positively within six months.
