🧠 Legal Learning | Civil Procedure – Order VII Rule 11 CPC
📚 Understanding Rejection of Plaint & Presumption in Registered Documents
🔍 Key Takeaways:
1. Illusory Cause of Action = No Case
A plaint can be rejected at the threshold if it shows no real cause of action or is barred by limitation. Mere clever drafting cannot cure a legally untenable suit.
2. Registered Sale Deeds Have Presumption of Validity
Once a sale deed is registered, it carries a presumption of being validly executed under law unless challenged and proved otherwise through proper pleadings and evidence.
3. Constructive Notice to Public
Registered documents are deemed to be in the public domain. Any party claiming ignorance must rebut this deemed knowledge—which otherwise arises from the date of registration itself.
4. Legal Principle of Deemed Knowledge
Under the Registration Act, once a document is registered, the public (including subsequent purchasers or claimants) is presumed to have knowledge of it, even if they did not actually see it.
🧾 Legal Provision Involved:
Order VII Rule 11 of the CPC (Rejection of Plaint)
Sections 3 & 47 of the Registration Act, 1908
💡 Legal Insight:
Don’t rely on technicalities if your suit lacks a foundation. Courts now strictly scrutinize whether the plaint itself discloses a genuine right to sue. Also, claiming ignorance of registered documents rarely succeeds unless backed by solid facts.
