What is the effect of rejection of a plaint under Order VII rule 11 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 on presenting a fresh plaint on the same cause of action?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Order VII rule 13 provides that rejection alone does not prevent the plaintiff from presenting a fresh plaint on the same cause of action. Any independent bar, such as limitation, still applies.
Option feedback
Option A
Order VII rule 13 says that rejection by itself does not bar a fresh plaint.
Option B
Order VII rule 13 permits presentation of a fresh plaint despite the earlier rejection itself. The new plaint must still overcome any applicable defect or bar.
Option C
Order VII rule 13 does not impose a general requirement of High Court leave.
Option D
A fresh plaint requires a fresh presentation. Rejection does not automatically restore the old pleading.
