Order 8 rule 1 is for the limitation of filing of Written statement if the defendant fails to submit that on time his right for same can be closed, So for condonation of delay in filing same an application under it is preferred.

Order 7 rule 11 is for the rejection of the plaint, when the defendant contest that the plaint there is no cause of action disclosed then directly for rejection for plaint the application under order 7 rule 11 can be filed at any stage.

Dear Cleint,

O7 R11 is for Rejection of Plaint

And O8 R1 prescribes the limitation period for filing of a written statement by a defendant in a suit.

Under Order VII Rule 11, the court has to take a decision looking at the pleadings of the plaintiff only and not on the rebuttal made by the defendant or any other materials produced by the defendant,

Can contact.

2. 8/1 application is for filing of written statement by defendant within the stipulated period of 30 days and if he fails to file his W/s within this period then the period can be extended max upto 90 days upon payment of costs and reasons to be recorded by judge for granting extension of time to file W/s beyond prescribed period

3. if you wish to file a 7/11 application then you need cogent material for the following:

Rejection of plaint:

The plaint shall be rejected in the following cases :-

(a) where it does not disclose a cause of action;

(b) where the relief claimed is undervalued, and the plaintiff, on being required by the Court to correct the valuation within a time to be fixed by the Court, fails to do so;

Hi

1) Order 8 Rule 1 is for Limitation where as Order 7 Rule 11 is for Rejection of Plaint.

2) You should also be aware that for the courts to decide under Order 7 Rule 11, only the averments in the plaint have to be read by the court. The courts whilst deciding under Order 7 Rule 11 shall NOT look in to the defense(i.e your written statement).

Supreme court in Popat and Kotecha Property vs. State Bank of India Staff Association (2005) 7 SCC 510 where it was held as under

"10. Clause (d) of Order 7 Rule 7 speaks of suit, as appears from the statement in the plaint to be barred by any law. Disputed questions cannot be decided at the time of considering an application filed under Order 7 Rule 11 CPC. Clause (d) of Rule 11 of Order 7 applies in those cases only where the statement made by the plaintiff in the plaint, without any doubt or dispute shows that the suit is barred by any law in force."

3) It appears that you are relying on a relinquishment deed and claiming limitation based on date of execution of relinquishment deed. Hence in your case, in all probability, Limitation might be claimed as a defense in your Written statement.

4) If you want to put pressure on the opposition, you can consider filing

a) an Interlocutory for deciding preliminary issues on questions of law under Order 14 Rule 2 and

b) also file Order 7 Rule 11 challenging the maintainability of the suit citing that the plaintiff has hidden facts and has not come with clean hands to the court.

Hope this information is useful

Rule 1 of Order VIII of the Code, which prescribes the limitation period for filing of a written statement by a defendant in a suit,

WRITTEN STATEMENT(order 8 rule 1 of Cpc.) Written statement. The defendant shall, within thirty days from the date of service of summons on him, present a written statement of his defence. which may be extended upto 90 days.

Order 7 Rule 11 CPC Rejection of Plaint. the Court and that refusal to extend such time would cause grave injustice to the plaintiff. question of rejection it is the responsibility the court to take consideration other materials too, order 7 Rule 11 of CPC narrate cases where plaint should be rejected.

"When the bundle of facts averred in plaint discloses vital and valid cause of action for the relief sought for, the plaint cannot be rejected under Order 7, Rule 11, C. P. C., 1908." II. "A disputed question of fact cannot be taken as a point for rejection of plaint at the threshold.

You say that you have relinquishment deed in your hand, but that cannot be taken as question of fact being disputed by the plaintiff, hence your petition seeking rejection of plaint on that grounds may not be held maintainable.

For preparing the petition under Order VII rule 11, if you do not want to utilise your own lawyer then you may approach any other lawyer of this forum at his/her terms.
