If clever drafting has created illusion of a cause of action, nip it in the bud at the first hearing u/o 10 CPC

Rejection of plaint-What Order 7, Rule 11, C. P. C. postulates is that at the preliminary stage the Court is only to see from the averments made in the plaint as to whether, on the face of such averments, a cause of action is disclosed or not. Learned counsel for the opposite party may be right in urging that if the plaint is based on a document, then such a document may be considered as forming part of the plaint itself and the document can also be looked into, while considering the averments of the plaint, for the purpose of deciding the question that the plaint discloses a cause of action or not. But it has to be remembered that the averments made in the plaint as well as the contents of the document which may constitute part of the plaint, can be looked into on the face value thereof and the question relating to the validity or invalidity of the document cannot be considered at the stage of deciding an application under O.7, R.11, C.P.C.
