Abstract

Every court is required to review complaints to determine their admissibility. The present research paper examines the grounds for rejecting a plaint as well as the associated legal provisions. It supports each ground of rejection with thorough explanations supported by actual cases. The study highlights the importance of Order VII Rule 11, which lays down specific grounds for rejection of a plaint by a court. To protect the effectiveness of the legal process, Order VII Rule 11 intends to rapidly reject arbitrary and vexatious complaints. It makes sure that important court time and the defendants' attention aren't wasted on meaningless or unsuccessful litigation. Although the term "plaint" does not have a clear definition in the Code of Civil Procedure (CPC), it holds legal prominence. Plaintiffs must follow certain guidelines or their plaint may stand rejected. The primary emphasis is on the particular grounds listed in Order VII Rule 11 that result in rejection of a plaint. This rule is a procedural rule that also ensures the adequate application of the Court Fees Act of 1870. This paper explores the complexity of plaint rejection in judicial procedures.
