while inquiring under O 7 R 11, the court can not go in to the merits of the case. the suit is rejected if conditions specified under this rule are apparent from  bare perusal of the plaint.

Mr. Piyush,

Important Points on Rule -11 (Rejection of plaintiff)

If a plaint does not disclose a cause of action the only legal order then can be passed in the circumstances of the case is one rejection of plaint and not of dismissal.

The provisions of the Rule - 11 are mandatory.

A plaint can be rejected at any stage of the suit even after its registration.

A plaint  not correctly valued and stamped can be rejected.

The court an exercise its power to reject the plaint sue motu.

The whole plaint can only be rejected, but a part of the plaint cannot be rejected.

Where the relief claimed is undervalued, the court shall reject the plaint.

Where the suit is barred by limitation, it can be rejected.

Where the plaintiff does not follow other rules to the law, the plaint can be rejected.
