The Application was taken out by Defendants under Order VII Rule 11(d) of the Civil Procedure Code, 1908 for rejection of the plaint on the ground of limitation.

Mr. Malpathak would however contend that the plaint will have to be read in its entirety and on perusal of paragraph No.7 of the plaint, it would be clear that the subject road has been used since long by the general public as also by all those residing in the vicinity of the said road.

Be that as it may, perusal of the impugned order reveals that save and except recording the cause of filing the Application, no specific reason has been given with respect to the issue of limitation agitated by the Applicants as also the case of the Respondents i.e. Plaintiffs emanating from the suit plaint.

The learned Trial Court is requested to hear the parties afresh on the Application below Exhibit-24 and pass a reasoned order after considering their respective submissions and case law. 9.
