the plaint at the threshold in exercise of powers under Order 7, Rule 11 of the CPC. The
learned Trial court has rightly rejected the application under Order 7, Rule 11 of the CPC,
which is rightly not interfered with by the High Court. We are in complete agreement with
the view taken by the High Court. The Special Leave Petition stands dismissed.
