The order passed by the lower appellate court allowing the appeal and setting aside the order passed by the trial court rejecting the plaint under Order VII Rule 11 with a further direction to re- [2026:RJ-JP:8073] (13 of 19) [CMA-5078/2025] register the suit, invite objections from the defendants for framing issues and after taking evidence give a decision on all the issues, cannot be held to be a judicial determination conclusively determining the rights of the parties. The order, therefore, cannot be held to be a 'decree' so as to amenable to a further appeal under Section 100 of the Code. 56. Putting it succinctly, it may be stated as a legal proposition that where an order rejecting a plaint under Order VII Rule 11 is affirmed in appeal, it would be subject to a further remedy of second appeal under Section 100, alternatively, if the appellate court reverses the order of rejection of the plaint, the remedy would be to file an 'appeal against an order' under Order XLIII Rule 1(u). 57. Applying the aforestated legal principles, to the facts of the present case, leads to the inference that the order dated 07.04.2023 passed in Civil Appeal No. 67 of 2022 in terms of which the order dated 22.11.2022 passed by the trial court rejecting the plaint under Order VII Rule 11 of the Code, has been reversed with a direction to restore the suit to its original number and proceed to determine the suit, cannot be held to be a 'decree' amenable to a second appeal under Section 100 of the Code. 58. The order in question would have to be held a 'remand order' covered under Order XLI Rule 23 of the Code (as read in terms of the Allahabad Amendment), and it would be subject to the remedy of an 'appeal from an order' under Section 104 read with Order XLIII Rule 1(u) of the Code." fo}ku vf/koDrk izR;FkhZ&oknh dh vksj ls izLrqr U;kf;d n`"Vkar rF;ksa esa fHkUurk ds dkj.k ls orZeku ekeys esa ykxw ugha [2026:RJ-JP:8073] (14 of 19) [CMA-5078/2025] gksrs gSa tcfd fo}ku vf/koDrk vihykFkhZ izfroknh la[;k&01 dh vksj ls izLrqr U;kf;d fu.kZ; Shrivatsa Goswami Vs.

It could thus be seen that this Court has held that reading of the averments made in the plaint should not only be formal but also meaningful. It has been held that if clever drafting has created the illusion of a cause of action, and a meaningful reading thereof would show that the pleadings are mainifestly vexatious and meritless, in the sense of not disclosing a clear right to sue, then the court should exercise its power under Order 7 Rule 11 CPC. It has been held that such a suit has to be nipped in the bud at the first hearing itself." ekuuh; loksZPp U;k;ky; }kjk Dahiben Vs.
