For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Binayak Kumar Shrivastav, Adv. For the Respondent/s : Mr.

=========================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE V. NATH ORAL JUDGMENT Date: 20-10-2016 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner.

By the impugned order the learned court below has turned down the prayer on behalf of the defendant-petitioner for rejection of the plaint under Order 7 Rule 11 C.P.C.

It has been submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that the suit is barred by limitation as well as the learned court below where the suit has been filed lacks territorial jurisdiction to entertain the suit. However, during the course of submission, learned counsel for the petitioner has accepted that the question of limitation is the mixed question of law and fact and further there is averment in the plaint that the part of the transaction took place within the territorial jurisdiction of the court.

Patna High Court CWJC No.14618 of 2014 dt.20-10-2016 After considering the submissions and perusal of the impugned order, it transpires that the learned court below has taken into notice the averments in the plaint and thereafter has come to the conclusion that the prayer for rejection of the plaint as made by the defendant is not tenable. This Court, in the backdrop of these facts, is not inclined to invoke the jurisdiction under Article 227 of the Constitution of India for interdicting the impugned order. The application is, accordingly, dismissed.
