HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:47706 CRP No. 105 of 2023
in the previous suit in O.S.No.1275 of 2007 and therefore, the suit is hit by Order II Rule 2 of CPC.
5. The said application was opposed by the plaintiffs and by impugned order, the learned Trial Judge dismissed the said application.
6. Being aggrieved by the same, defendant is before this Court.
7. Sri.G.A.Mithun, learned counsel appearing for the revision petitioner, reiterating the grounds urged in the revision petition vehemently contended that when the earlier suit in O.S.No.1275 of 2007 came to be dismissed and a specific finding has been recorded, which has become final by plaintiffs' not appealing against the said
judgment, the second suit for the relief of declaration is clearly barred under Order II Rule 2 of CPC and sought for allowing the revision petition.
8. Counsel for respondent remained absent.

9. Therefore, this Court perused the material on record meticulously. On such perusal of the material on record, plaintiffs have not suppressed the filing of O.S.No.1275 of 2007. Infact in paragraph No.7 of the plaint, plaintiffs have detailed out as to what happened in the said suit and how the present suit is maintainable by the plaintiffs, specifically mentioning in paragraph No.12 of the plaint about the cause of action which arose on 14.10.2020 as per the plaintiffs.
10. Whether at all, the suit is hit by the Order II Rule 2 of CPC cannot be a subject matter of the discussion at the threshold.
11. Necessarily an issue would be framed by the Court below, in the light of the rival pleadings and if no such issue is framed by the Court, the revision petitioner can resort to Order XIV of CPC.
12. If such an issue is already framed or going to be framed, parties are bound to lead necessary evidence

on the said issue and the said issue can be trashed out only at the final hearing of the suit.
13. Accordingly, viewed from any angle this Court does not find any good grounds to admit the revision petition for further consideration.
Hence the following:
ORDER
Revision petition is dismissed.
